3 or 4 Season Garden ZONE 7 Suggestions?
Posted: Thu Apr 28, 2011 1:35 pm
OK my wife and I will soon be in a house with a REAL yard! Grass, a tree, and bigger than the 10x10 cement pad we both grew up with! (we live in Philadelphia, enough said! LOL)
I want a couple trees and some bushes across the front for privacy. My wife wants "COLOR" in the yard for as long as humanly possible. I SERIOUSLY doubt there will ANY color from say November until AT LEAST March. But I have been known to be wrong before. Her thought is to plant flowers that as one dies for the season the next one is already or starting to bloom. IS this even possible?
We BOTH LOVE the Fall and trees that are orange/red/gold etc. (I am looking at Sugar Maple, the warden wants Japanese Maple.
ANY suggestions are encouraged, welcome and Greatly Appreciated!
