Where did all of my flowers go?

I think I understand now why people who have spectacular gardens and a lot of money often have a personal gardener. I loved our flowerbeds last year, but since all we planted were annuals, we now have to do all of the work all over again! I really don't want to re-plant pansies and snapdragons every May ... We've made one trip to the greenhouse so far this year, and this time we didn't stray outside the perennial section except to pick out some veggies. I tried to find perennials with lovely colours, so we have some bellflower, two kinds of foxglove, a few violets, an English daisy, and a few more that I can't remember.  I also planted two dahlia tubers in the front yard last night - Chris picked them out. They're peach. I had a dream last night that I planted them all wrong *sigh*

a couple of years ago, we got assorted wildflower seeds coated with some sort of fertiler. they came in a big jar from walmart. we spread those out in our flower beds and have always had something colorful blooming ever since.

it's an idea for the super low maintenace gardeners like me.
