But I like the constancy of perennials. They are comfortable to me. They are more work, and I have one bed that I am fighting right now. I mixed annuals in with perennials last year. Dumb. So now I am going from row to row, cleaning out alternate rows. Driving myself crazy, and thinking i'll just add more perennials by thinning from other beds. I used to be a little more structured, but having retired added that element of adventure, I think.

I have a friend who only plants perennials. Lovely gardens, but when they are gone, they are gone. I like my foliage.

I think I am in a rut, and would like to change, but am not willing to give up any of my perennial gardens.
