Make Your Bed and Bask In It!
by Janice Austin,
Master Gardener
Put a rusty old bed frame to use in your backyard. Partially bury it and turn what would have been the mattress area into a mounded "bed" for annuals. Each season, create the look of a patchwork quilt by planting the bed with two colors of annual plants. Photo by Janice Austin.
