Thyme Keeps On Creepin’

I never take a picture of what’s above. The property is on a hill, so the building behind us is six feet higher than ours. Our neighbors have this tree in their yard and it hangs out over my patio. With the tree and being on the east side of the building, it’s probably a good ten degrees cooler back here than in the front on a summer day.

Coming to you live from my new lime green lawn chair

The new green pot for the ornamental pepper

The cute little caladiums. Everything looks dirty from the rain. So much for rain cleaning things.

The new green pot for my very favorite flower, torrenia!

The new blue pot for the torennia, the persian shield in the yellow pot, and my fat ass cat Tucker

The purple lily in the red pot

My bad boy Machu plotting his escape. I made him go inside before he got any ideas.

A very interesting insect that sucks nectar

The leaves on the tomato plant have turned to face the sun

The dianthus is a bloomin!

Clouds!

Hi my name is Abbyliscious and I have a plant addiction. I can’t drive by plants and not stop.

Ornamental pepper. Came in this shocking yellow pot.

Gorgeous purple calla lilly. Perfect for the shady patio. I got a red pot for it.

Georgia Blue Creeping Speedwell. I had this last year, and it’s just so cute.

Three different color caladiums, Persian shield

It poured rain all morning, so I didn’t see the Easter Bunny, but it turned out to be a beautiful afternoon. I got outside and potted all the plants I bought last week. I also divided up the overgrown violas in the hanging basket into 3 baskets.

The upside tomato plant with basil on top

The upside down garden salsa pepper and oregano on top

The African Daisy in my fancy new pot

Impatiens in the big blue pot. That dusty miller is still going strong in it’s 3rd year.

The verbena surrounded by ageratum in my giant blue pot.

Need to clean up when it dries out, but I’m ready for a patio party!

It’s cold and windy today, but I braved it to get more plants. I’m still upset at the theft of two of the wire and cocoa planters. I wanted to move the plants back out on the patio, but it’s supposed to get near freezing the next two nights. Will it ever stay warm?

Yesterday I went to a crawfish boil at a friend’s house. She is a potter and makes these delightful cups and saucers on a stick for your garden. I bought this one.

Here’s an overhead shot of the new plants. That’s oregano and basil in the upper left. They will go in the top of the upside down planters.

This is an African daisy. I’m a sucker for daisies. I have yet to have a daisy last all season in any of my gardens. I am a daisy murderess.

This is verbena. I’m going to plant it in the center of my biggest pot and surround it with ageratum.

The ageratum on the left, and the patio tomato on the right. I will be attempting to grow the tomato upside down.

These are impatiens. I like impatiens because they are hard to kill and they do well in shade. In the bottom right is the garden salsa pepper I will also be attempting to grow upside down.
