I planted some Zinnia in the front of the bed here, and for the trellis we have sweet peas in the front and on the left, Black-Eyed Susan Vine on the right, and Cup and Saucer vine on the back. Let's see if any of these come up.
There are also nasturtiums everywhere!

I also planted some seeds of Cypress Vine (lpomoea quamoclit) on the opposite side.
Plan is to expand this bed into a kitchen garden.
