Let's see your containers!
I'm starting to dabble in making flower containers. Mine are already thriving so much. Just thinking how much difference 30 days of sun makes. 🥰

3 years agoNice containers, Dezi. I love that one bi-colored marigold! The purple fountain grass and beautiful coleus too!
Millet, Lantana, petunia, coleus, some miscellaneous sedum that's hard to see.
Coleus, Gomphrena (which is a beast), calibrachoa, sweet potato vine.
Green ball dianthus (which I love because it's so odd) and yet-to-bloom Pineapple Lily, and some tiny diasy like flowers that I do not remember the name.

Bidens, veronica, calendula and gazania

Comments (24)inlimbo---yeah---you got it--way too much time on the computer for me, too! Between working hard in the garden and snapping pics. and checking this forum everytime I come or go in the house--there's not much room for anything else! Here's a couple more I have in a 'barrel' that have always performed well in that situation---except Spring '07, when everything was set back! Even this year, most are still struggling to be what they were before--a few have succeeded, others are still playing 'catch up'!! Before Spring '07: This year: And, Captain Kirk, before '07 and after: Actually, I can see with the photos, that Capt. Kirk may not be doing badly at all in 'getting back into the game'!!...See Morelet me see your kitchen table for your remodeled kitchen
Comments (2)Congratulations! We just built and it took me awhile to figure out our table as well. My father in law built a farm house table out of ash...we stained it a darker shade...it's roughed up and aged looking...I think I will forever love it! I paired it with black chairs. I don't have a picture at the moment. Here is a link to a similar design. It's basic but I love it. Here is a link that might be useful: Farm house table...See MoreLet’s see your color riot!
Comments (47)Skibby, know I haven't planted goatsbeard in that garden, but not sure what it (between the two areas of phlox 'Laura') is. Extreme right: is something like a dracaena in one of my customer's planters on a stone column behind. Last visit, cut the Kashmiri tree mallow back (pink flower above the liatris) to expose the phlox behind. Thinking it's too early for that height from other tall perennials planted in that location. You've got me wondering. Going to check on visit tomorrow. Thanks re combination. I plant and tend to it all, but there's always an element of chance that hopefully is corrected (e.g. pulling out wild running goldenrod and asters, inside the beds, before they've really got going). Kali_c, am very fond of that size of dahlia in areas too small for a perennial bed. Your's currently look much better than mine. For the first time in ten or so years of using medium-sized dahlias, I'm trying to deal with mildew on the leaves....See Morelet’s see your landscape!
Comments (4)We are in the PNW and growing hydrangeas is not difficult due to the rain, moderate temps and angle of the sun. Zone 7 - 8 is perfect and fossils of hydrangeas are quite common - so they have been growing here for millions of years. Most of the following photos were taken the last few days - so they are going dormant. You will also see many small pots and plants that will be sold at our garden club plant sale in May. My style of landscape is 'the one with the least amount of soil....wins' lol It is also called layering, and possible because we don't have to protect in winter, or worry about mildew - so we can grow them very close together. Anyway - that's my story and I'm sticking to it! Back garden, Asperas, Lady in Red, Pia, and Nikko Blue in back - planted to hide fence. Aspera, Serrata - Beni Gaku, Oakleaf, new serratas still in pots. Other side of garden, Aspera, Mac. Kluis Superba, New Serratas Miss Saori and two Kiyosumi Along the driveway, raised and shaded under vine maples Hydrangeas and hardy fuchsias are great companions....See MoreDeZi Lo

Canna Lily leaves have been chewed by the Japanese Beetles. We’ve been catching them daily. The alyssum is called snow princess. I tried it last year and had a great success so I wanted to buy it again this year.
Two pots with same plants. They are wave petunias and vinca.
Here’s another container with same plants as another one. This one gets only morning sun while the other one gets morning AND afternoon sun. Last year, the cannas that got more sun grew way taller than this one by August. We will see if it happens again.
Another canna that got chewed up by Japanese Beetles. I am glad we are seeing the first bloom.
Rockin Salvia, Rediculous Coleus, Wave Petnias and Dichondra Silver Falls. This was under the covered patio so the Salvia Wasn’t getting enough sun. It’s doing better now in the new spot.

3 years agoThis was planted in late June. It’s a new container for me. I had a hard time choosing the right plants and etc. The Penisetum is not getting enough sun at the spot but I’ll let it be this time. I’ll be happy to hear other people’s suggestions of plants.
Coleus Red Head and Gay’s Delight with some smaller flowers.
Coleus Henna, Torch Light, a Hosta which will be moved to its permanent spot later this season.
