missing---

went out and took a picture of the bed by my AC. Also a close-up of the Poppies leaves.
It does not drain water--this is a central unit. In this bed I have always had a couple of roses.
They look semi-OK in the spring--but then waste away as the black spot gets them.

The Maple roots also meander into this bed. A bit of competition....
The high gutter of my house also leaks on this bed. Because of this--I dug up 2 Peonies that
were right under the leaking gutter. They never bloomed! Not enough sun? Too much water?
Planted them in mt S. side bed. They are growing well. Looking forward to them blooming.

#1 My AC bed. the Poppies are right next to the Unit in the right-hand corner
#2--Close-up of the Poppies foliage growing as we speak.
#3--coleup---your Bleeding heart going gang-busters....This is the small bed right in front
of my front entry door and steps....
