Containers

[amid chaos]

I hope to get my containers done this weekend.

Didn't we have a before and after picture thread last year?

Anyone interested in ...Containers: before and after?

Here's some ideas to get you going.

Good idea We did do a container thread last year. Sounds like fun. I haven't started any yet but will soon and I'll take some pics.

I'm looking for mini pale yellow marigolds and cannot seem to find them. I started some from seed but they'll take awhile so I thought I'd fill in with plants. Am I early?

Thank you for the links.

I will be setting up my containers soon. Each year I have a porch garden at the Condo. This year I'd like to try veggies along with the usual flowers.

Those are very pretty. I wish my flowers would grow that pretty.

I put in violas in my deck containers this year and they are awesome!!!!!!! I'm gonna have to get some pics and try to post them. Several different shades of purple with some that have that golden yellow in them. And they smell soooooooo good too!

those are so pretty!
I can't wait to get the back yard done so I can start putting in containers

I remember that last year - mine were pathetic! They probably won't be any better this year. I've put my hanging baskets together but they don't look very full yet. I guess now would be the time to take the before picture.

I'm not a very good gardener but her is my project from today.

Teresa...beautiful! Tell me about those pots? are they in stands or is that the whole pot?

Looking forward to seeing them later in the season, they are going to be lovely!

Love the snail on the wall and the teeter totters.

I started everything from seed this year so, it will be awhile before they look nice. Most of them are still in the flats.

I liked your flowers, TeresaMC!

I'll bet the chimes sound lovely! Someone gave us a set, and they're set up in Cape May, I'll be going tomorrow to hear them!

The pots are one piece.....look like they are in a stand. They also look like they are ceramic but they are plastic. They are really neat!!!! I got them from Menards.

Very nice plantings! You are so tidy & organized. I love your see-saw children. What flower is draping over the sides of the pots?

I potted up hanging baskets, driveway pots & deck planters. Nothing happening with them yet. The deck planters will look like a hodge podge because I forgot I had planted in them last fall. It'll be a surprise when they bloom. In fact it'll be a miracle if anything blooms between the dogs and the bunnies
