I tired of the aging poppies and asylum in the front bed, so I ripped them up when the rain took a break today. I left the daffodil greens so they can keep storing up energy for next year, but planted some of my extra vegetable garden seedlings and seeds as an experiment: Cosmos Versailles Mix, Marigold Gem Mix, Horned Voila, Matina Tomatoes, Mammoth Basil, Red Belle Peppers, and Speedy Bush Beans. I may add some peppers and other herbs later. The front bed gets great light but the soil seems poor and is constantly attacked by burrowing animals. Too lazy to do real digging and amending, I added some fertilizer and planted in pockets of planting mix. We'll see what happens. Below are photos of the construction site.
