Waiting for the sunroom is a good idea. We'll have some iris if you want some of them, same with daylilies.
Kewl! I'm thinking about doing a shade garden thing beside the gate with at least some hostas and maybe I'll plant some impatiens or something and I was thinking about doing ferns on the garage end of the house. I guess I'll do some bedding plants in the planter boxes and something for between the planter box and the front walk - ajuga comes to mind but I'll need something else that's low growing to make it interesting.
BTW - no progress on the sunroom yet. Last I heard from them, they wanted to know if I had a survey of the property. I expect they're doing the bureacratic paperwork crap.
