I've been tossing around that idea in my head for a few months Kathy. I kind of overwhelmed myself when I first started two years ago, but now it seems very manageable. During the winters I usually run out of current available space because there's so much more of a variety of things that will grow. In the summer there's much more available existing space because I haven't really found enough heat loving stuff that I really like. Rather than just filling it in with "anything" and having to maintain it, I kind of decided to just leave some spaces open. There's a vegetable garden in the backyard thats full of stuff now, but primarily empty in the summer when its too hot for most things to grow. I do grow lots of Sunflowers in the summer because they do much better when the days are longer. They do grow this time of the year but it's common that they will only grow the half their summer size.
Are you content with the size of your garden Kathy or are you thinking of expanding or sizing it down a bit? What are some of your favorite flowers that you have at your place?
Here's a photo of one of my favorite Sunflower varieties called "Strawberry Blonde". It's kind of unique/different.
