I am doing a little pre-planning, and I need some suggestions from y'all. One of my first projects this year will be to build a "flower box" in the front right corner of my garden, just to the right of the entrance, where the arbor is. I plan on it being about 6 ft long, and 3 to 4 feet wide, and about 3 ft high. This will allow me to make a bench seat on the side that faces the raised part of the garden. I am wanting to plant a pretty flowering plant or two that will "spill" off the right hand side, and drape down a few inches, or almost to the ground. Any suggestions??

bsmitch	Feb 7, 2008 \| 12:08 PM PST Here is an article that might help give you an idea. http://www.southernliving.com/southern/printerfriendly/0,142 60,1160214,00.html I meant to suggest some trailing petunias. I think these new varieties will not grow from seed, so you will have to go on line or go to a nursery. You have a great day and happy gardening.
