And that's not even all of them! I placed a few before I took the picture!
I couldn't watch those poor plants sitting in their trays from the greenhouse any longer. The petunias are still waiting because I need Justin's help to make the flower towers but otherwise I went crazy. Last fall Justin's mom gave me a garbage bag full of planters of various shapes and sizes. I had to restrain myself and make sure that just because I HAVE approximately twenty-five planters does not mean I have to fill them all at this moment. As much as I would love our deck and front steps to be just covered with plants I have to leave some space out of consideration for the mail carrier (the box is attached to the house and they deliver on foot).
I also have to restrain myself from squeezing too many plants in each pot. It is hard when they look so spindly and sparse during the first weeks. Every year, though, I find several plants that have withered because they have been overgrown by the others.
Hey, anyone want to play a game? This is a challenge every spring. It is called, "Is That a Weed or a Perennial?"
In another week the question should be answered. I identified a lily plant for sure and that large one that is filling out is not a weed although I don't remember what it is exactly.
