First things first, the walkway leading to the house needed to be remulched and have some more plants put in it, since the pentas are annuals and were dead. Chris really likes gardenias so I decided to buy three gardenia bushes from a local nursery and place those there, along with a pretty cool weather annual (alyssum), and some solar lights we got on sale at Home depot. Here is how it turned out:
These are hung on PVC piping. The one in the front has my pansy plants. The one in the back is holding the rosemary and lavender. It's a great way to brighten a front porch, and the herbs are within reach of my door if I need to cook with them!
The back container has my tomato plants, plus one of the squash plants. The front has the sweet peppers and one of the jalapenos. I am keeping them in containers until I am certain it will not freeze (maybe mid February) then I will transfer them to my back yard in the raised beds. I can't wait!
I go back to work next Monday (boo!) but I will try to keep up with blogging and updating you all on whats going on outside my door. Until next time friends :)
