Today was planting day. It's been an unusally cool spring and it doesn't seem like we've had a dry weekend in a while, so I'm a little behind. It's so good to see the sun! It was a perfect 68 degrees out today, and I spent most of the day outside enjoying it.
This is my favorite combination - red pentas, purple angelonia, and yellow lantana. It looks a little skimpy right now, but it won't be long until it's double in height and full of blooms.
I like these little hanging planters. They started out their lives with glass bowls in place of the pots and hung above my couch at my apartment. One of the glass bowls got broken when I moved. I hated to throw the holders out and I'm glad I didn't since a 6 inch pot just fits perfectly. I like these tiny petunia looking flowers - David picked the color. They're happy in the sun!
I haven't tried to grow tomatoes since we've lived in this house, but I'm going to give it a whirl this year. I put them in plastic pots so that they can be moved around if that's not a good spot. I don't know yet whether that will be enough sun. They were getting great sun for a while, but as you can see, the garage may shade them too much. Good thing they're portable!
I got this cute planter already full of herbs at the Farmer's Market last week. Stevia on the far left, parsley, chives, oregano with thyme in the front. You can't really see behind the herbs in this picture, but the back of it is a cow or pig following a duck. It's a cutie!
I guess I didn't get a picture of my Farmer's Market baset with flowers yet. I'm not always good at picking out flower combinations, and it's just turned out weird looking. It may need some help!
