Spring is in full swing here in North Texas...
the weather has been absolutely beautiful....rain in the early morning, but then lots of sunshine and really mild temperatures...
making me want to spend what little time I have in the evenings outside...since most days with the new job I'm cooped up inside these days...
so I decided to spruce up the patio...so bright and early Saturday morning found me headed to Lowe's and straight to the garden center....
I had picked up a book at Barnes&Noble a few weeks ago about organic container gardening...so my plan was some bright vibrant colors...and veggies and herbs to enjoy through the summer...
so here's the progress so far...
I love bright blooms of a Hibiscus...this one is a really vibrant coral and it has tons of buds just waiting to pop open...and these grow so tall...I thought why not hide some crisp white little shade lovers on the back side...
more little white Impatiens with a favorite of mine Lantana.....this will probably turn out to be my favorite container on the patio..
and the rest of the containers while in progress...that's my little jalapeno plant in the green container on the left.....Roma tomato in the beige container in the middle...cilantro in the small coral container to the tomatoes right...and my garlic is pictured...but I'm thinking I'll be able to keep everyone in salsa this summer if these little guys produce for me...
we also have rosemary, lantana, snapdragons, sweet potato vine, and creeping jenny in containers...we had to take a break to relax....
but we'll post some more pics when everything is all in place...but for now Ry and I have some sun and a nice breeze to enjoy!!
Hope you had a great weekend!!
Your plants look SO much better than mine! I wanted a bunch of potted herbs this year, but they're all dying! It's my black thumb I think.
