| Hello, again. Where can I find a guide or planting list for a cottage garden? I do have some ideas of what to plant, but I want mostly perennials, with a few annuals. I have three beds I'm working on right now, and I'd like to make sure there are enough year round plants growing to fill up the beds. Such as what to put next to wh the Alstromeria while it is 'sleeping', to fill in the spot. thx |
