Hi everyone!

I could use some suggestions for easy to grow flowers , I would like to use seeds. I always like to have something to cut and bring inside ( doesn't have to be fancy). I do have zinnia's and some marigolds.I'm looking for easy, heat resistant. color.I planted some black eyed susan's and a pack of runner beans ( near trellis) but as soon as they began to sprout somebody ate them !! I also love Verbena and planted 4 the tops look like they were sheared off hmmmm could it by that cute little cotton tail that likes to rest under my Gardenia bush ?? LOL I really want to plant but unfortunatly have limited $$$ like a lot of us.. I'd love to hear suggestions from you guy's. Thank you !!
