Marigolds

Bought some orange marigolds today at Bachman's and planted them in the front yard planter.  The top left photo shows yellow marigolds from the backyard planter.  Illustration is by Mary Cicely Barker.

Trip to Bachman's

I'm so late getting started with planting this year.  Things are starting to brighten up just a bit.  Whatever the purple stuff is, it sure looks pretty. 

Seeds

Picked up some seeds at the store today.

Finally Starting to Plant Some Flowers

Busy, busy, busy, June and July. I'm finally starting to get some flowers planted. These marigolds look nice with some dusty miller to accent them. Both of these plants do pretty well into the fall.

First Annuals of 2012

I'm a bit late this year in getting annuals planted. Usually I start planting them shortly after school gets out. Due to the class I'm taking this summer I'm a little behind. These jumbo marigolds look great in this container that sits on Jim and Megan's retaining wall.
