I found your blog! and now i have questions. I've been doing some yard work - cutting down ugly stuff, and things that seem out of place. In doing this, i decided that i would like to plant some flowers - something pretty and colorful - that will be low maintenance and work in the local climate. Do you have any suggestions? I don't have a lot of money so suggestions for an affordable way to do this would also be great! Also, I would need to know when to plant them. If this is on your blog already - just point me in the right direction. I was going to post this as a comment on your blog in case it would benefit others.
Thanks!

Low maintenance is SUPER key! The perennial flowers I always turn to in sunny situations are Black-Eyed Susans, Echinacea (Coneflower), and Globe Thistle. The no-brainer annual flowers that I always recommend for a sunny spot are Zinnias, Cosmos, and I really can't do without one called Celosia. You can easily find seeds for all these except for Celosia in the Fall. These plants are really easy to find and grow...I can definitely slip you some plants in the Spring. Anytime you can work the soil is a good time to plant from now until around June 1st, when you've kind of missed the Spring planting window. I'll also tell you later how to figure out if the soil is too wet or dry.
I want to know more about your site...I need to know how sunny it is and whether it is wet or dry. I can go into more detail once I know this info. Favorite colors, height requirements/preferences, and size of the area are other important details.
