not really. whichever one or both that are useful to you. neither are legumes, bu either can add to the soil if the residue is incorporated into the soil.

One color per plant. Do you have time to germinate a few extra seeds which could be put into a section where you removed some of the red guys? This gardening stuff is a learn by doing & asking sort of thing. Have fun!

LOL, the rainbow was the first thing that jumped out at me....and THEN I noticed how gorgeous the landscape is! I love it when nature gives us surprises, don't you? We had some 'thunder snow' not too long ago. I heard the loud cracks of thunder and went to a window to look at what I figured would be a a rain storm coming, but it was snowing like crazy. Didn't you post a picture of a double rainbow at one time, Ken? That's something that we see only a few times a year, here. Have any of you ever seen a 'sun dog'? That was a new one for me this fall. Robert came in from the west facing front yard and told me to hurry up and come look! The last time he said that, a tornado was bearing down on us. But there was the strangest phenomenon in the sky...I can't even really describe it properly so I'll attach a google page. These images are really what they look like and not done with fancy lenses. Here is a link that might be useful: Sun dogs
