Garden notes for next winter's endeavors

1) Relocate the crocosmia in the front bed. Replace with some sort of grass. They just look pitiful this time of year. 2) Front path bed needs compost badly, and redesigning -- relocate the Russian sage to the backyard -- simplify: Perhaps just grasses all over and ferns in the shady side? It all looks too patchy and unkempt. -- Give up on the mealy blue sage, at least for summer color. It's really not happy. 3) Move the firespike by the back door someplace else 4) Get more stella d'oro daylilies for the patio beds out back, and move brarygirl's artemisa up to the front pathway bed 5) More milkweed. It's happy. 6) More Mexican Mint Marigold. It makes me happy. Ditto for blackfoot daisy. 7) Rework the bed with the angel's trumpets in it. It's a jungle in there.
