Hello California Gardeners, I have a dear friend who lives in the Upland area and I am trying to help him with the landscape in front and back of his home. I have some pictures of what it looks like now, but I am not familiar with the types of annuals that grow well in zones 9 and 10 or for that matter, anything. Can some one give me any ideas or suggestions that I can pass on to him?? He has already bought 3 sweet pea bush's and planted them in squares in cement in and around his back patio....I did a little research on this particular plant and found it to be somewhat invasive, but the nursery assured him it will not invade where he has planted them.

This picture is one of the front of his home which as you can see he has already replaced the juniper's.....I am suggesting he get rid of those tall things in the back there...which I have no idea what they are..... More pictures to come in next frame...
