Last year I started digging the rows in this fairly small bed. I only planted every other row, due to a wise member's suggestion...
Except for the magnificent Thornbird that Rob sent to me and Samurai Warrior, the bed was rather sparse. Samurai Warrior was the first to bloom and kept on spitting out blooms for quite some time. I even took a chance with it and set a pod on it, and it was none the worse for wear. It just kept on blooming!
