I would like to plant a veggie garden again this year and was wondering if I could plant flowers across the front and sunflowers as a backdrop? If so what flowers would work, keeping in mind this area is full sun all day?
Sunflowers are great but they do use a lot of water. I allow calendullas (pot marigolds) & bachelor buttons to reseed themselves in my garden every year. If they are deadheaded, you will have flowers all summer long.
Much like toehead, I have day lilies along the fence which began as a way not to have to weed wack aong the fence before there was a garden. Then I plant marigolds that I get on clearance. I don't know if they really repel bugs or not, but they look pretty!
