this is the left side of the garden bed with Mr.Bunny planted with salvia, blk eyed susans, geraniums, impatients (i don't like the little rose kind of impatients, I like the pansy shaped kind), . Earlier pics in this thread show Mr. Bunny in April, surrounded by tulips. I love seeing the transformation of the garden from season to season. This time last year I didn't know what deadheading was - - what a lot to learn in a year.

I just placed my fall bulb orders with WhiteFlowerFarms and VanBourgondien. I used both of those sites last year and had a fabulous crop. I also used several packs of daffs and tulips from HomeDepot...the only problem I had was my own patience...I didn't realize the allium wouldn't bloom with the tulips in the spring (they are summer) and dug them up and threw them out. The only thing I planted that didn't come to fruition were irises and I suffocated them.
