Christy,
Thanks for the help. Since I have landscape fabric over the bed I will have
to start seed indoors ahead of time and plants directly into the bed as
plants. I just don't want to have to keep up the mulch that is over the
landscape fabric. I prefer a softer look.
I intend to add some Dahlias and other things to the bed in a couple or three
months. I'm fond of yellow/red color combinations and thought I would ring
the bed (outside layer) with red double petunias, if I can find seed in time.
(WalMart only has mixed colors this year, and although I love the surprises
with iris seedlings I don't like surprises in my color coordination of other
plants.)
Someone had suggested ground covers persay, but I prefer the annual idea also.
In time, the perinnials I plant will creat their own ground cover with fewer
annuals needed and I wont have to dig out something I didn't want anyway.
Thanks again,
Betty
