green makes me happy

visiting our local true value garden center was on the list

today but not for plants. it was on there to get some

stain for a project i started the other cold rainy day.

i rarely go to the hardware store that i don't at least stroll thru

the plants...if the weather is nice enough.

what a difference a week makes...last week nothing much

was there but today a different story.

some of my containers definitely needed sprucing up so i

bought mostly green fillers(F), spillers(S), and a few thrillers(T).

my list of goodies.

for the victory garden:

anethum graveolens ~ herb dill

flat italian parsely ~ papa joe's

african daisy astra ~ violet

african daisy astra ~ white improved

for my backyard patio containers:

dracaena indivsa ~ spike T

lysimachia 'midnight sun' ~ creeping jenny S

ipomoea batatias 'little blackie' ~ sweet potato vine S

asparagus setaceus ~ plumosa fern F

vinca major maculata ~ vinca vine S

citronella ~ scented geranium T

for a walkway leading to side of yard and our hot tub:

lautentia fluciatilus ~ a lovely little trailing ground cover

for an antique urn in the front yard :

festuea glauca 'elijah blue' ~ blue fescue

got them all planted this afternoon with the sun shining for a bit.

happy springtime.
