Just a note that Cosmos are quite tall if that's a consideration. What
direction does your flower bed face? The petunias, salvia and marigolds
will
be best for sunny locations whereas the begonias will tolerate some shade.
I
have my annuals in a cold frame now. I won't be planting them for a couple
of weeks, there is still an off chance of a killing frost at night yet.
Happy digging!
