Garden Sketch -- What I Planted Where

I took some time to make an amateur sketch of my planting layout, taking care to size the drawings for each plant's eventual mature width. BFI = Blue False Indigo CB = Columbine FG = Foxglove FN = False Nettle GA = Golden Alexander HV = Hoary Vervain LBS = Little Bluestem OCF = Orange Coneflower PCF = Purple Coneflower PMW = Purple Milkweed PPCF = Pale Purple Coneflower PV = Prairie Violet RMW = Rose Milkweed SBES = Sweet Black-Eyed Susan SmP = Small's Penstemon SOG = Sideoats Grama YCF = Yellow Coneflower
