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!
