THE WEDNESDAY GARDEN

It is a beautiful day!  Finally the weather is sunny and warm.  Joe and I headed out to do some errands and ended up at Home Depot.  While he got boring men stuff (like hardware), I headed for the plants.  I loved seeing everything and so much was on sale.  I gathered up a bunch of stuff and met him to check out.  We headed home and I went outside to plant things.  I have a bad habit of buying plants and saying, "Oh I'll plant them later." Not this time.  They went right into their new homes.

I got out my new spades and cultivator and went to work breaking up the soil in the pot and getting rid of all the weeds.

I got these pretty pink pompom geraniums for the pot.

I know they will get bigger over the summer and fill the pot.  Even if it does look a little sparse right now.

I got four Dusty Millers and eight Marigolds for each hanging pot.  I wasn't sure how they would look,  but I love it.

It turned out really good.  I like the way they look sort of wild and not planted. on purpose.

Another look at the geraniums.  So pretty!

I got both pots filled and hanging.

This will fill out a little more too as the spring and summer wear on.  I hope.

My favorite place in the garden to sit.  Not the best picture of me.  I've put on a lot of weight, but what you see is what you get.

 There is still a lot to do in the yard.  The grass needs mowing.  The patio needs cleaning.  The dead plants need removing.  The ivy needs cutting back.  But it's a start.  And I'm liking it very much.
