The Containers are Planted!

I got the containers planted over the May long weekend, but am a little behind with posts (I've been photographing containers, lilacs & tulips and couldn't figure out which to put together!).

Here are my containers of Blue Star Petunias and trailing lobelia (white & blue), I lined them up side by side for quick planting...



And then set them into the wall. They grow well here with just morning sun, the petunias get nice & tall and the lobelia trails over the wall. In the daff bed below I planted some Tiger Eye Gold Rudbeckia and Yellow Snapdragons, I bought too many so...


I planted a few extra containers for the sunroom wall, there are some blue lobelia tucked in as well.


I always do a barrel planter with the same plants as the wall containers (blue star etc), and a Dracaena for height.


Remember my 3 matching pots? I've planted romaine lettuce into the big one, patio tomatoes in middle one, and soem strawberries into the little one. I don't think they get enough sun tucked into the corner here, but I haven't found a great spot for them yet.

I thought I was done, but then found a Tomatoberry plant at a hardware store, I remember seeing an article in a magazine about this new plant, and it looks very pretty. I suspect this pot will be too small, I'll find a better home for it later on.



Does this count as container planting? I like having a cedar in a pot on the porch. I tried to dig last years in at the end of the season, but it didn't make it through the winter.

Here is an orange Thunbergia, all ready to get climbing. I can't wait to see the happy & plentiful flowers.

And lastly, I really liked these Pink Dreams Petunias, and have this extra pot which floats around my yard, I put perennials needing TLC in it occasionally, but it's generally underused. Now it's planted and beautifying the side door into the dog yard.
