Yard projects continue

After sodding the back yard, we were left with a few designated garden areas. We're finally getting around to fixing them up. In the smaller area, we built a stack stone border/retaining wall and added in a nice layer of topsoil. I would love to say that I did this project from start to finish. Well, I started the project and it just so happened that Jason ended his long training run as I was laying the first couple of stones. I reluctantly let him finish the digging and laying of the stones. I did spread the topsoil! We're very happy with the finished product-- now we need to figure out what to plant! Suggestions?
As you can see, Evan thinks it's a lot of fun to play in. Must figure out how to keep him--and Bullit--out of the new garden!

Cara - When I come to rake your leaves and clean out your flower beds, I'll also plant some stuff for you! I'd like to put some mums in first, b/c they're such a great fall plant. After that, it depends on how much light that bed gets and whether or want something that comes back every year and a few other details.
