Memorial Day Weekend- Planting so I can Relax!

Today, May 27th I planted my window boxes.

 I've been itching to plant my flowers but we keep

getting frost warnings.  Last night it dipped to 36

but I had covered everything up just in case. Today

it warmed up beautifully and the forecast looks

fine for the future.

Lobelia, Impatiens, Vinca Vine and Begonias

in the window box at my kitchen window.

These two are on the side of the garage. This picture 

got a little burned out from the bright sun, but

there is salvia lined up in the back, vinca vine 

and a plant called diamond frost that spreads out.

One of the tulips that are blooming.

Last year I played around with some perennials

and added some coral bells and more hostas.

On the right side is my Jack Frost, Brunnera

that has been blooming for 3 weeks...the purple

leaved coral bells are about to bloom.

Today was also about getting these impatiens

planted around the fountain area. 

144 plants to be exact...here I am staging

them.

About 2 hours later I had them all planted. This

picture isn't very flattering but soon the flowers

will fill in and make a good showing.

A quick shot of the backyard...we've come 

a long way since that last snow storm

in April!  Thank goodness!

Hope you have a wonderful weekend 

and a great

Memorial Day.
