Oh the joy of a three day weekend with no plans for going far from home! I've been thinking of all the things I want to do and trying to prioritize a bit. The garden will probably have to wait for tomorrow, it's raining again... I'll just have to work on one my blankets!
This is one of my splurge planters. Every year I pick out a few annuals for planters. I save the plastic containers the plants come in for starting seeds. The lime green flower is nicotina, the little flower on the left is diascus, petunias in the middle (these smell so good) and then lobelia to the front. To the back is a hosta that I grow in a container. Small hostas grow beautifully in containers and are much safer from the slugs.
