Pots of Posies

I'm not much of a gardener. In fact, I really don't like gardening at all. But, I love having pots of posies scattered around during the summer. Especially since "the fence." I hate the fence. Love the hot tub, love the location, love the fence, but only in the winter. During the summer it simply blocks the view of what little landscaping we have. So, the pots of posies perk (like that alliteration?!!) it all up a bit.

I'm a great one-day gardener! Take one day, buy the plants, get 'em in the pots, sit back and enjoy. Kera usually helps me with the pots. After taking a course at HACC on container planting, she puts together some really stunning pots. She was busy this weekend, I was in the mood, so I had to figure it out on my own this year.

A friend of Brent's told me to visit the flea market. He has seen people leaving with massive flats of plants. I wasn't very optimistic, but thought what the heck, we might save a few bucks. If nothing else, we could enjoy the day at the flea market - something we haven't done in years.
I made out great! I bought 3 flats of beautiful posies at fantastic prices.

I don't know what it's all going to look like as they continue to grow, but they're looking pretty good for now.

They look good! It looks like we may need to fill in some of the containers with trailers though. I'll take a look tonight. Can't wait to go to the flea market with you this weekend!

Yes - I ran out! I did go to Stauffer's and buy 2 more bacopa's for the one on the fence. But, everything was so much more expensive than what I spent at the flea. I thought I'd just wait and get whatever else I needed on Sunday. I want to pick up a hanging one or two also.
