A Few Of My Container Plantings...

 My nasturtium planter.  These are edible, so am anxious for it to flower!

Here I have 3 types of lettuce, parsley, onions & a marigold(which supposedly will fend off certain insects). I put a little iron bunny in here too.  Can you see him peering over the side of the pot?

This is a little grouping of Rosemary, Lavender and Tumbling Tom Tomato. 

 

These are a few of the things I have planted the past few weeks.  I have a lot of pictures of my other containers to regale you with, but I'm posting these particular ones because I dolled up the containers they are in.  Notice the raffia,  lady bugs and did I say raffia?!  I hope LL Cool Joey sees these, as all the bling and decorating that he does inspired me. (Even if in a small, less blingy way!)

Flowers & Trees At Our Place

I planted double petal Impatiens in the mosaic pot I made. Can you see the snow in the mountains in the back ground?? The Rocky Mountains go up into Canada from here.

The second hanging planter here is full of baby lettuce plants. They've already grown 2 inches!

These plants on the deck are my most recent "gardening" projects. One hanging planter I didn't show because it just contains seeds. Sugar Maple Tree seeds! My blog-buddy, Daisy,in Ohio sent them to me while I was still in Phoenix. She also sent some packets of flower seeds which I planted in my little garden patch. Will let you know if they come up.

This is a Sweetheart Cherry tree that Patrick planted for me. It's still in a bit of shock I think.

This Rhododendron bush is 1 of 3 that one of our neighbors was going to throw away last year! We couldn't believe that they would just dig them up and throw them out and asked if we could resurrect them. (By we, I mean Patrick...he did all the digging and heavy lifting. Thanks baby!) We also got 2 Azalea bushes that haven't bloomed yet. They look pretty scrawny, but the flowers are pretty. If any of you garden aficionados out there have any suggestions for plumping up the leaves on these bushes, please feel free to comment.

This little guy is one of 4 Blue Spruce that we planted last October. They all made it through the rough Northern Idaho winter. Yippee!

I hope you all are having a lovely weekend. A special shout out to blog-buddy, John in Wales on his 47th Birthday!! If you get a chance, hop on over to his blog and wish him happy returns of the day. Approaching 50 can be traumatic to some!!

May the Lord of Heaven and Earth rain His blessings on all who read this.

love, Cassie
