Question
Can you help me with some good choices for my flower bed. I am just starting and love the very colorful beds... Purples and Reds and Orange and Yellow... Anything you can do will help... Thanks

Answer
Hi Jonathan,
Thanx for your question.  First, I need to know what part of the country you are in so I can make recommendations that are suitable for your climate.  Secondly, how large is the bed?  Does it get full sun, 4-6 hours of sun, more than 6 hours of sun, shady?  What kind of soil do you have?  Sandy?  Clay? Loamy?  Is the soil well drained or is it damp?  These things will help me.  Please post a follow up.
thx,
Tom
