Early Morning in the Garden

The rain last night and the cooler air temperature made for early morning fog. What an enchanting setting for the garden. The garden is much work when you work full time but definitely worth it!! I am almost ready to mulch and like any gardener I know, I have thoughts of changing things. I am trying to talk Doug into making the patio bigger and moving the grilling area. We have a brick patio so it is easier to enlarge and keep the same theme. I think I have a good chance of a win this time.

Simple container

I put Sedum and Lantana together with an old bird house and left over curly willow branches. This container sits at my front door and everyone comments about it. I am having fun this year using odds and ends instead of all plants in my containers.

Window Box

Last year Jake built me a window box for Mother's Day. I planted it with a ton of beautiful flowers. This year my feelings are "keep it simple". I love the way it looks and the new Pretty Much Picasso petunia looks fabulous in it with red cabbage. Great job Linda!
