Container Garden Slideshow

Hi Everybody!

I put together a slideshow on Imageshack of some of my containers for this season. Check it out! I got carried away and spent way too much money, lol. But it was a lot of fun.

Here is a link that might be useful: Slideshow

Stuffradio - Thanks, I didn't even try to grow watermelon this year. Those just popped up from seeds that I grew the year before and I just let the vines run. I think I got 2 good sized melons and about 4 smaller ones. They need a long and hot summer to grow well. I guess I take that for granted here in Georgia. Good luck to you too! pnbrown - Thanks, those were melting sugar snow peas. I am actually in middle Georgia, and I planted those peas too late last year. I planted them around Feb. 15 and by May we were hitting 95 to 100 degrees, it was crazy hot. I actually put some Oregon Sugar Pod II's in the ground today. I am hoping by starting a little bit earlier that I will have better luck. I had a pretty good harvest last year, but I hope this year to get the same harvest from less seed planted.

Mark - No, I have not planted the ragoon creeper yet. I haven't quite figured out where I want to put it. The other plant that you gave me that produces clusters of blue flowers is sending up a couple more flower stalks. This plant reminds me of a super dwarf Lily-of-the--Nile. Besides, I have been spending a LOT of time working in the vegetable garden. I will post pics of that in the near future. Anna - Thank you very much for the compliments. I do enjoy strong colors too. I find colorful foliage easier to deal with in the hot summer...no deadheading. Actually I have another planted area that I could show you but it's not quite as eye catching. I'll take more pictures soon and post it on this thread. Christine

I like the bacopa & callibrochoa sittin' in a tree! LOL I also like your plant hangers and stands.

I only have a couple mixed planters - 2 of my 3 windowboxes, where one has some alyssum with red petunias and the other some maroon snapdragons with alyssum (I'll probably replace the snapdragons with Lady in Red salvia eventually). I've decided to have hummer plants in them! I may end up putting some red verbena in one of them too if I can match it.

LOL @ vinelover! I've been waiting for some of the spring-blooming shrubs to get going and my Miss Kim lilac is going full force:

{{gwi:28096}}

Also my weigelas have just started blooming yesterday and I had a hummer late yesterday afternoon find it and start nectaring on one of them (the "Wine and Roses" along with nectaring on the lilac, which is the first time I've seen one peck at the lilac):

{{gwi:28097}}

The above windowboxes (the furthest left) have S. cocinnea 'Hummingbird Red' and the center one has the alyssum & red petunias. Also in the pic are asiatic lilies and redtwig dogwood. Plus my heuchera 'Firefly' is also blooming:

{{gwi:28099}}

All these red things are to keep the hummers coming. Am also trying to plant shrubs and perennials to extend the bloom season from March (with the pussywillow and crocuses) -> October (with salvia and agastache).

Oh Jenny!

Miss Kim is just gorgeous! You have so many different unique plants in containers. They are wonderful.

mebane and noinwe (luv the name) thanks for your comments.

I love that wall hanger. I tried something else this year at first but nothing looked good except the bacopa.
