I haven’t been able to say enough about how beautiful the weather has been today. The sun is shining, and it was in the upper 70’s. I went to our local garden shop and picked up a flat of Coral Petunias and top soil and planted them in my hanging baskets and planters up near the house. There are no flowers yet, so I have had to borrow this beautiful picture from webshots.
Last year I got to the shop to late in the season and the Petunias were gone by the time I arrived, so I’m happy as can be to have these beauties this year. I love the color, and will plant the ones left along the road where my vegetable/herb garden is. It’s a quiet dead-end road, so not a lot of worry about car exhaust fumes and such affecting my vegies.
So many things are coming up now, it is a joy to behold, I blogged a bit about my dear Mom and gardening on my Memories and Nostalgia blog, I always think of her when I garden.
Enjoy the rest of the weekend!
