Wow!
That's quite an improvement! I love the looks of the bottom bed. The only thing is, the grasses seem to block some of the view of the beautiful flowers behind them. But I suppose if you look at the scene from a different angle, you can see the upper bed just fine.

Good landscaping job!

Good point about the grass Julie, in this case though this bed is a transition from the flower garden to the vegetable garden. So you are looking back at the flower garden, you need to go thru there to get to this bed. So the grass is more of a hint that something more is coming up when you are in the flower garden, and when you get to this bed you are looking back.

On that subject, a row of ornamental peppers would be a cool transition, halfway between a veggie and an ornamental plant? Maybe next year.

I don't have any suggestions, but I just wanted to say you made a huge improvement it looks great!

Sedum sieboldiana would hang down nicely over the edge and stay neat. Gets a nice flower late in the year as well.
