I worked in the garden yesterday! Woo hoo!
It has been warm enough that my pansies are starting to look a little ragged, so I decided it was time to take them out. I also decided that my new bedding plants would be all different colors and shapes. Usually, my plantings are more designed, but I just wanted to do a crazy assortment this time.
Shopping for flowers was fun. While I was out, I had my first snowball of the season. I went to my regular snowball stand. Michele’s daughter was working there!
Grape is my favorite.
Here is the planter with pansies:
Still colorful, but starting to fade.
And here is the planter without. I built the edges up a little and added mulch.
I like the taller edge.
And here are the new flowers. They look thin for now, but will eventually be a little over-crowded. It was hard to restrain myself. I am most excited about the heliotrope and the alyssum, because they both have such sweet scents. This was also an opportunity for me to buy just one of certain flowers I haven’t tried before, just to see how they grow. I’m so excited!
There’s not much pink, but I didn’t realize until it was too late.
Fantastic! It looks like a day full of sunshine and color – just wonderful. I like the shadow in your snowball photo, too. Our shaved ice place is open now, but we are having such dreary weather it doesn’t sound appealing.
There are a lot of rocks in your garden.
Lookin’ Good……I Love The Pictures That You Post!!!

[Where did you bury the pansy bodies; did you have a service for them? 🙁 ]
Nice before and after shots – and thanks for the reminder about Casey and the snowball stand; I’m craving and need to check that out some evening.
