Default suggestions for plantings in NYC

Hi,

I just got an apartment in the heart of new york city with a yard that
is about 20ft x 20ft in size. The backyard has been completely
neglected and is overrun by weeds. I am wondering if anyone has any
tips for plants I can start planting there beginning September 1st (my
move in date) after I mow that jungle down.

I'd like to get some types that will survive a few months before the
frost hits, and if they automatically re-bloom in the spring that would
be terrific (I don't know what the garderning term is for that,
perennials?). Thanks for any ideas,

Mark


I'd look at the metropolitan museum of art. Check out the Japanese
garden area I believe they have. Not been there but I'd guess a small
garden can have large potential.

All bonsai with water and a few stones with a sculpture and borrowed
scenery or and perhaps less.
