Spent 3.5 hours in the garden. Tom was out there with me, putting up more chicken wire as a stupid rabbit got in from the Baileys and, no kidding, ran through chicken wire, leaving some fur and escaped. So I think he might have two layers of chicken wire in some places. Hate the rabbits. Heard there was a coyote and hope he gets a few rabbit dinners.
Something i've not done before is wash out my pots. I think Laura Flanders encouraged me to do that.
So today I planted almost all the annuals. I picked up a coleus and a delphium at Rite Aid near the dentist office yesterday after my crown.
I planted some purple petunias and there yellow marigolds. Purple and yellow color scheme here.
More purple and yellow. I think the purple is a lupine (A perennial) No poppy this year but i heard they take years off
Purple petunias and a new dusty plant by this white one. I need some kind of plant for the area behind
Mostly pink in the front. I've noticed lots of cosmos just randomly coming up. Hope this continues
So there is my basil, parsley and then an idea from another year, a green annual pot.
An experiment. I planted a maroon dahlia bulb in the left pot and a red/orange dahlia bulb in the right pot. I also planted Ranunculus bulbs (weird little star bulbs) along the edge and...
More of the ranunculus bulbs where the popsicles sticks are
Then....went to Big Tool Box and bought some perennials,sedum and a few others. Put those in. The back garden looks a little empty right now.
Tomorrow I hope that I can plant veggie seeds. I also have marigold and cosmo seeds.
