Saturday was planting day at our house. We had gone to a local nursery and to Lowe's on Friday and picked out this year's plants and veggies. As usual, once you buy them, you have to plant them.
The garden has the normal arrangement of 8 tomato plants. Something new this year is a hanging basket with a cherry tomato plant. Right now it is hanging from a corner of the shed roof. I will probably move it soon, to let it get more sun. We still have some frozen tomato slices from last year. When the new ones start to produce, we will be able to make an early batch of tomato soup. MMMM!
This season's flower hanging baskets are petunias( 2 in the back and 1 in the front). We are going to try a pair of vining, yellow roses on each side of the deck stairway.
Along the rear of the back yard, with the string of hostas, we have planted a viburnum. It is the "snowball" variety and you can see in the picture that the name is well chosen.
In the front yard, we added an azalea and a rhododendron. They are both bright pink. We don't want any color clashes.
Now we just have to water and fertilize them. Wickett will help with that, I'm sure.
