Murmur, you are too funny!
I have one of those types of garden also ... but I call it 'the roadside garden'. I need a better name like your 'elm st'. LOL
Here it is in the spring of last year ... in its 2nd year. It really didn't look much better by the end of the summer. Except the stella's bloomed half heartedly and I managed to get a few of the 'tall' rudbeckias to grow there, except they only got to about 18 inches in height.

This area has terrible soil that I don't amend, lots of salt in the winter, and kids stepping and riding their bikes over it. And if it snows alot, this is the area the snowplow puts all the snow, it also scrapes up some of the dirt on the edge ... that is why it is a garden, I could never get grass to grow here reliably. LOL

Someone gave me an iceplant and obediant plant at the end of the summer and I stuck them in there. I hope something really takes hold!!!
