I'd love to be as organized as Jo with planning for spring. The coleus look beautiful. Iris' reticulatas are also something I'd like to be planting.

Here's a work in progress. Today i removed all the plants I had heeled in last year when I ran out of time to put them right in October 2011, so what's left here is a nearly blank canvas. Ideas? I do have three lovely yellow canna to replant there. Whatever it is gets a good amount of sun and shade at noon, but the roots can't compete with the umbrella pine.

I'm still new to overwintering canna and caladium, so I hope the box of sand in the basement works.
