I bought these ones.
Son cares for the main gardens and I have my little tub garden.
Last year I wasn't well enough to be able to care for the pots on the deck, as I had done previously.
This year is so different, and it felt good to be potting up seedlings again.
Now we wait for them all to flower!
I'm looking forward to sitting in the shade of the umbrella on a sunny summer's afternoon, looking at all the pretty flowers.
Roll on Summer!

I like all your choices; all pretty and all ones I've enjoyed through the years except Impatients which will not grow for me. I've tried a number of times and they simply do not thrive.
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad you're feeling better this year.
What a great thing to be able to be well enough to do some more gardening - that is always theraputic! I am also looking forward to summer!!
ReplyDeleteThe computer is back up and running, but I am going to be very selective about which blogs I visit from now on, as I feel so much more relaxed without charging around every evening to visit those I follow - this should also give me more time for other crafts.

Summer is not far away now. The worst is over. It will be lovely sitting on that deck admiring your post of flowers
ReplyDeleteI look forward to seeing them, too...they will brighten winter days if you show them to us.
ReplyDeleteHope springs eternal...for a gardener! Enjoy! So glad to hear you are up to it, this year.
ReplyDeleteI am happy to hear you are feeling so much better this year, Margaret. You will have a bloomin’ summer by the look of it.
ReplyDeleteI would love to be planting flower seeds today. Here we are just going into Fall. Got several months to go before I can think about gardening again. :( You have a nice deck, a good place for enjoying flowers and sunshine.
ReplyDeleteNice selection of flowers there, Margaret. I love verbena. Hope all yours thrive.
ReplyDeleteIt’s going to look lovely when they all bloom Today lol have sunshine and the itch to start planting is strong. Maybe tomorrow we will go and buy some seedlings. I need to start my summer crops going
ReplyDeleteOh that will look beautiful in your garden...
ReplyDeleteI bought snowdrops and tulip bulbs that I plant in the ground in October... now autumn is coming to us... until yesterday we had more of a summer weather.
Have fun in the garden. It will be nice to see your beds and flowers.

My paternal grandmother loved impatiens. I always associate their colourful display with her garden. Looking forward to photos of your summer display.
ReplyDeleteYou picked some great seeds, should be a riot of flowers and color! So glad you feel better this year:)
ReplyDeleteAwesome! Can't wait to see the colour blooming. I bought some alyssum seeds yesterday which I threw into my rose garden.
ReplyDeleteThat's really something beautiful to look forward to!
ReplyDeleteIsn't it amazing how we have different seasons around the world! Lovely gardens photos and plans!
