Yesterday I had to go to Lowe's for some more potting soil. I had received my Dahlia tubers the other day. I decided this year to grow them in pots. The soil here is horrible and I would have to do so much ammending that it is just easier to grow them in pots this year. I also put together an urn ont he front porch. I bought 2 different colors of coleus, 1 New Guinea Impatient, and a purple million bells or mini petunia. Here is a photo of that:
Here is some closeups of the 2 different coleus' I planted in the pot:
The other day my son-in-law, Kevin put this hanging plant up for me. I really love it!!
I have been trying to grow my own veggies, now that I don't have a squirrel issue. I have tomatoes, yellow squash, beans, broccoli, lettuce, cabbage, potatoes and herbs growin in the courtyard now. Here are some photos of some I have:

I also bought myself an early Mother's Day gift!! I bought a blue hydrangea! I have always loved them. I planted it in a large pot. I will probably leave it in there. The rain knocked it down a little. I'll have to stake it up and tie it. Here are some photos:
Well I hope you enjoyed the stroll around my garden and porch!! Everyone stay home if you can and be well!
Hugs,

Your flowers are so pretty! Have fun growing your veggies!
ReplyDeleteI’m so happy for you. It’s wonderful to see things growing and beginning to thrive at a time like this.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous flowers, Sherri. I hope you'll post update pics as they settle into their pots!
ReplyDeleteToday I'm planning to plant the dahlia tubers I purchased - but in the garden. I've not grown them here ever but love them so much
ReplyDeletewill give it a go! We grew them in my childhood garden in England - my mother had a green thumb - and they were so beautiful year after year. Keep me up to date on how they do in your pots please Sherri. All my huge hydrangea bushes are blue - starting to bud already - they are my favorites.
Stay well dear.
