Some beautiful gardens in this thread!

Ours is an utter mess but here's one border last year http://davesgarden.com/t/298101/. The photo below is of the border this year. It's taken less than 18 months to achieve a riot.

As it happens, we didn't cheat and over plant the border, even the Nicotiana is a self seeder from last year, most are from the 20 or so plant we put in last year and a whole bunch of volunteer seedlings. When I find my camera (eeek!) I'll take a front view photo.
