Lavender, sage, rosemary, thyme always good bedfellows. Added bonus of use in kitchen.
Keep the mint in a pot. It spreads like a weed .

Sunflowers to amuse the kids? Some easy veggies?

Lots of spring / summer bulbs?

Traditional summer bedding plants?


How about espalier fruit trees along the wall?

If it doesn't work this year, there's always next year

Loving these dahlias in the pots as well. Not typical for a couple of the larger varieties but it seems to have worked well enough.
