Annuals are plants with a short life but a merry one. In the space of a few months they grow, flower and die, leaving the ground free for further cultivation, if necessary, and for other plants. Biennials are plants which must be renewed annually from seed, since they die after they have flowered and set seed. In this they resemble annuals, but biennials take over a year to complete their cycle of growth. Seed sown one year will produce plants that will flower the next year, ripen their seed, and die before the second winter.
On The Other Hand See Path Can Subtly:The arrangement of paving units in a path can subtly affect the speed at which you walk. A uniform grain along the path—for example, that created by bricks laid lengthwise in stretcher bond—can seem to hurry you on, whereas a less directional pattern will encourage a slower pace. The treatment may be chosen to suit the purpose of the path—a "slow" path where there is plenty to admire, a "faster" path where the aim is simply to provide access to another part of the garden.

Farther down the snowy garden path a clump of sedums were pincushions of Mahogany and each of the dwarf conifers that edge the bank above showed myriad shades of green, subtly pastelled by their coat of snow. The fountain cotoneaster that flows from be¬tween a step of flagstones still bore a crop of scarlet berries and to the right, the weeping birch was an umbrella of countless ribs with two friendly chickadees precariously perched on the farthest side picking at the hanging seedpods.
