Oh wow! Nice job with the placement! You hid the planter so well even though I think the recycled planter looks really unique and could stand alone by itself as an interesting piece.

You have a nice eye for packing in the variation of colorful plants so tightly together!

Beautiful!!!!!!!!!! Isn't it amazing how plants just pop up from the ground so fast!

Everything is sooooo pretty...Love your selections...

Great colors & textures, looks like a postcard!! Things really "grow" back there!! With all our dreary weather since May 21 I think they said, we have it 'greener" than usual too but not that beautiful & lush. I did get the Miracle Gro powder out as when mixed with water it more than doubles size of plants. Do you fertilize? I used that pelleted stuff Martha S. used to say was so great, after 3-4 yrs the pellets looked the same as when I put them on & I didn't see any growth but normal, with Miracle Gro it is worth the bother to mix it up & water. I used a cheap fish liquid yrs ago that did well but you had to smell it, ugh!! Jan

GREEN THUMB!!!!!!!!!! YOU'VE GOT 10 GREEN FINGERS!!!!! I am so proud for you. How beautiful that bed turned out. Since I am a "plant pumkin head" I have to ask basic questions. Are those annuals or perineals in your zone? Are they in the shade or sun?

Your plants look WONDERFUL!! Love all of the color choices and textures...great job Jeanne!

The changes created by growing things is wonderful isn't it!
I like how the plants hide some things in my garden, then they are like new again inthe spring. Your display is beautiful.

Thanks, all...am enjoying this front garden out the LR windows...right next to the house across from bird arbor sancutary...been a good wet spring...hope first day of summer brings warmer weather!

susieroses...all the plants on the ground are perennials...and the hosta's keep getting better each yr...and the dark burgandy are "coral bells" ... and they are doing good...to the right of planter is "Solomon's Seal"...a woodsland plant...does great there. I was worried because big Maple trees are gone & only arbor... but so far everything has done ok. The recycled planter are annuals...dark ivy geraniums, coleus & a spiky houseplant. Glad you enjoyed! Jeanne S.

The "Tipsy Buckets" are growing also! A couple perennials were not doing good in the center 2 buckets so I took them out & planted in the ground & replaced them with an annual called "BlueDaze"...it's vining a bit & think it looks great! Here's a couple pics from last wk:

I love your things Jeanne! Your garden ideas make you want to breath out and say AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH.

Love the watering can. I have trouble keeping the plants looking good. Yours look wonderful. Thanks for sharing.
