[quote=Anonymous]I think your list is too long. Pick multiples of the same plant so narrow down your list. Also, do you want a three season garden? If so, leave some space for Spring and mid-summer bloomers. Don't plant only late summer and fall bloomers otherwise you will have a long wait next year before you see any color in your garden. Try to stagger bloomtimes. In order to do that and in order to be successful in your endeavors you need what every gardener has discovered.............PATIENCE. Put a calendar together to plan your planting and have a separate calendar to estimate bloomtimes. You can plant all of your late summer/fall bloomers now and in October you can plant some poppies, bulbs or tubers like peonies, for spring.[/quote]
