I was able to find my sowing date for the groundcover mentioned upthread-- peat pellets arrive any day, then BOOM. I also found two low-impact items to give good color in the spring, in that bed and a front bed, using seed tape along the siding and seed mat fitted around foundation plants. The spine thing sure threw me for a loop, but I WILL have "them flars" as dear Giac used to call them, dammit! I hope that back rehab allows me to get back to starting my own perennials for these beds, next year, if Brandon is still gardening for us.
