Thought of the new plant thing, but none of the nurseries close to home are open any more and with no vehicle it is a little difficult to get to the ones that are still selling them. I have another garden 3'x3' full- I mean full of Victoria white Salvia, Salvia Evolution, and Bonfire Salvia - would it do much damage to transplant some of them to the new empty space? Any suggestions on some perrenials I could add next year to this garden? ( the larger one)? Would like to keep some of the annuals but add a few new perrenials. Thanks so much again

That far wall is just painted an ugly copper like color, i prefer to drywall it up, there are no doors on that wall, it doesnt go to anywhere. The front door is that wood door where the boxes are in the picture. That is a swimming pool outside of those patio doors, that area is where the dining room will be though. Those sliding glass doors will be french door sliding doors soon. I would like to make the space a more formal living area, I do like the idea of a bar and then 4 chairs with a cocktail table in the middle, should I also maybe included a rug in the space? The problem that I'm having is how to actually layout the formal space, meaning where do I place everything in the room so that it looks clean, modern, and not out of place. The new front door will be white with glass, when that is installed the door that will open will be further away from the copper looking wall and the doors open outward not into the house, so maybe I should put some type of long modern buffet type piece against that copper looking wall?

Next year if I plant more seeds I'll start them outside directly and just see how they do. We had such a very weird Spring this year for our area that I couldn't move anything outside til almost mid June. I did have several false starts, but we were a lot chillier than I can remember for a long time. I'm hoping for a longer growing season next year!

Drapery always softens a place. I would hang all weather drapery, then you could close the back up when need be for privacy. Run some electricity to it for lighting. A swing, couple of chairs and a rug.
