Post #3036489

When y'all are putting plants into your beds how much room do you leave between them? To get that really FULL cottage look, do you leave ANY room between them at all?

I'm just starting many of my cottage beds, so that means new baby plants in the beds, which doesn't give that full look right away. I know that I have to start small and add, add, add as I go. Is that how most of you have done yours? Then just kept adding till one plant was basically on top of another and no room left? Can you really plan a garden to be this full, or does it just happen by filling in with annuals and smaller perennials once the larger plants are mature?

Thanks for any help,
Heather
