Annuals

Took me forever 2 Saturdays ago, but I got the deck pots done!

Chives a'bloom with Thai basil and some
annuals...gorgeous Dogwood in the background!

Fabulous against our new blue house!
 
(New as in new siding we had installed in December)

The siding looks marvelous, but meant that I had to re-arrange a few pots since my blue ones now look hideous against the siding (differing blue colors - not great!)

So that's part of what took so long - I wasn't just planting, I was designing!
What pot goes where and which flowers go in which so that the colors are split up appropriately, etc. 
Highly important work! :-D

Love all the color!!! The canna in the big blue corner pot has just poked its first little head up!
(Also can't wait for yellow pollen season to be over so I can scrub the deck!)

My newest pot (green) with a lemony herb and I
believe I put one of my grown-from-seed zinnias!

The fabulous curly grass isn't looking so hot -
teeny greenishness is peeking through, so we shall
see if the winter did it in or not.

This time at the nursery, I looked for plants that had low water needs; never looked at that before for the sun-scorched deck pots!

I also watered THREE times in a week!! Very proud of myself.

And now the forecast is 10 days of rain...soooooo...sorry little plants; I tried!
