Be sure and plant a few scented things, so you can enjoy the fragrance as you relax on the porch, or scent your house with the windows open! <br /><br />Oriental lilies and old-fashioned petunias blend well with everything and smell nice day and evenings, too. You could have the same petunias in hanging baskets and or containers on the porch and steps to tie it all together.Ian's Girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14682902145465551139noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3552387675026716797.post-23302417718614740662015-03-31T11:32:03.607-05:002015-03-31T11:32:03.607-05:00wow...this is really going to be pretty..great job...wow...this is really going to be pretty..great job!!!jaz@octoberfarmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17249328159454897124noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3552387675026716797.post-66528413219822235982015-03-31T07:44:23.030-05:002015-03-31T07:44:23.030-05:00Don't own a laptop.

Echoing Colleen here. Do not put a feeder near a garden bed, unless you like weeding out the seedlings which will sprout from their discards. And raking out the husks...<br />A bird bath would be good though.Elephant's Childhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06650565833097914052noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3552387675026716797.post-56887770674805731072015-03-30T20:54:26.522-05:002015-03-30T20:54:26.522-05:00Oh and btw it looks really nice!!Oh and btw it looks really nice!!Tonya @ My Cozy Little Farmhousehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12289024681312440621noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3552387675026716797.post-81622082369255672832015-03-30T20:53:41.844-05:002015-03-30T20:53:41.844-05:00Are you going to add lattice or run wires in the b...Are you going to add lattice or run wires in the back of the bed for climbing o vining plants?

I also have landscape timbers bordering my rose and daylily bed and to keep the timbers in line and not bowing, hubby drilled some hones; (I think 4 holes on each timber; 1 toward each end and 2 in the middle evenly spaced) and pounded sections of rebar in just to keep them in place which has really helped to keep them from shifting, etc.<br />A little butterfly garden would be beautiful there in the corner.<br />I have learned by experience; Do Not put a bird feeder inside or close to a flower bed; Not a good thing.<br />Enjoy your day; and happy plantingColleenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13106960827480062745noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3552387675026716797.post-87010246234406316462015-03-30T15:43:36.988-05:002015-03-30T15:43:36.988-05:00Just a suggestion, if you plant a few bird attract...Just a suggestion, if you plant a few bird attracting plants there and add a bird bath, you will be able to watch the birds while seated on your verandah. We have this at home and because the birds don't experience the dangers and noise of the city, they are comfortable going about their business in close quarters to humans. We have Eastern Robins that will literally sit only a foot away from you when you garden, waiting for any worms or grubs you may happen to dig up. Watching the birds up close is one of the most relaxing activities you can do. I am filled with anticipation as to what you're going to do next.FionaGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09044498829299165675noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3552387675026716797.post-62261586093473520302015-03-30T11:05:32.838-05:002015-03-30T11:05:32.838-05:00Wow, that looks great.
