looking for some flower advice [View all]

i'm thinking about getting some annuals to hang on the patio. it's western exposure, but doesn't get a lot of direct light due to the pine trees in front of the building. it has to be something the squirrels won't bother and it has to be nearly idiot-proof as i have a pretty black thumb. i'm in northern colorado, so the summers are pretty dry and they're calling for a hot one this year.

i am completely ignorant on this topic and would appreciate any suggestions. happy spring!
