I got a lot done on my garden today. I live 'in' the city and have no yard at all. So every year, it's a new container garden for me! I MUST add color to the dreary dreary city that I call home!
Last weekend I put out two little pots of pansies. Then Tuesday evening we pulled the palm trees out of the house. They hate it in the house. We have no good sunny windows. So hopefully they'll perk up now that they're outside.
I filled a half barrel at the corner of the house with Snowfix. Three planters in front & one pot on the side with Violas (I bought more than I thought!! But they smell GREAT!) Two pots of red Dyanthus on the side... One pot of Marguerite Daisies on the side... and last year's Chives are beautiful (and totally tasty!) Ohhh... and I found some Hens & Chicks at the nursery and put them in a shallow terracotta bowl. I was kinda hoping for a birdbath... but all the ones I could find were too big (and it would probably be stolen anyway)
Oh... and while we were reconditioning the soil... Lil Mr Spryte found a sprouted acorn... so he planted it in a pot to try to grow it.
We got a permit from the city (after almost a year of waiting!!) to plant a tree in front of our house. So now we have to cut out a section of concrete sidewalk and pick out a non-invasive species! (that will hopefully provide a bit of shade and privacy!)
Pictures coming, as soon as I can locate the gosh-darned cable for the camera!
Tell us what's going on in your garden!
