we have mostly perennials & fill in with a few annuals in the flower beds. We also have an herb garden & plant a large veggie garden each year. Last year DSIL planted a second garden - just corn, squash, & beans in the pasture behind the hen house. Last year we also started trying to plant one of the pastures in wild flowers what we did last year was beautiful - we can't wait to see how much of it comes back. We already have the see to sow another big strip. This will be a project that will go on for years probably - doubt if I will live long enough see it finished but the start of it was fantastic.
