I often see I think what is lots of arguing and debating inside the Catholic Heresy thread ... I only see the last posts on the sidebar ... I refuse to head in there. lol
a (late) good morning to you too 
This wonderful. My hubby has done a few of those too. At this moment, we think of adding more knockout roses to the backyard.
What the type of flowers will you plant?
Last year we started our Butterfly garden, putting in what would draw butterflies. Swamp Milk Weed draws Monarchs. Our American population for Monarchs has dwindled considerably. One Monarch butterfly will lay one egg per milk weed. So if we get a few coming through, we may get several caterpillars off several weed plants. When we first purchased the swamp milk weed, little did we know that there some eggs already on them. What a wonderful surprise! I think we had about 6 caterpillars in all with 5 surviving to wing off.

These are my vegetable garden, although I usually sneak in a row of zinnias and a few marigolds for colour. I have a hedge of floribunda roses we just pruned the other day. More deadwood than you could imagine. The yard has rhodos, azaleas, lots of bulbs, and three or four flowers I have not yet identified.
We have a serious deer issues here, and they love flowers. So I am going to have to change my whole approach to flowers, which means giving up a few of my favourites. They have to smell bad for the deer to not eat them, and sometimes not even then. The cedar hedges are chewed up to the height a deer can reach, and cedar is supposed to be poisonous.
As for veggies, that is going to be an evolving process. I got so used to growing root crops in Edmonton, because that is about all that would survive, besides, peas and lettuce. I'm very excited about growing peppers again, and maybe things like celery. We shall see!
