Planting!

I didn't have Jerzie yesterday so I went to 4 nurseries shopping for annuals. I wouldn't even let myself look at perennials! As you can see I did pretty well. I went out first thing this morning and started planting. This shepherds hook is in the front of the house behind my holly bush.
These are the only annuals I put in the ground. I try to keep this garden red, white and blue. I use white allyssum and blue annuals every year. I also found some really red dianthus this year. I might come up every year.
This is out in the back yard.
I call this large garden my kitchen garden. There are lavender wave petunias in this gray speckled enamelware strainer.


More wave petunias in an enamelware coffee pot sitting on an old metal kitchen stool.
Another enamelware strainer. This one is yellow and green and has licorice plant and johnny jump ups. I also hung my egg beater wind chime in this garden.
An old copper boiler with variegated sweet potato vine and burgundy and pink dahlias. I love the green patina of this old pot.
On to the deck. This is one of the planters I sprayed to look like stone. There are more lavender wave petunias in these. The lacy pansies pull all the colors together.
I love the coral color and even tho it isn't in the furniture I put coral impatience on the table.

This pot was terra cotta and I sprayed it with the stone paint to. I really like this hanger.
The old soup kettle from camp with coral impatiences and an iron angel candle holder.

Now all I have to do is remember to water and I will soon have some nice full plantings.
