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.

Oh, manohmanohman! So many pretty greenies! Your lovely garden is so inspiring. Such a lovely variety of pots and plants. You make me want to keep the lovely greenies that the plant guy gave me today! But I KNOW if I keep them, they will be brown all too soon. I have a black thumb. Even my peppermint succumbed to the winter doldrum. The hardy spearmint came back, but not a single peppermint sprig in that dang pot. Nope, I cannot mirder them…. I must find them a patch of real ground and someone with a green thumb….
Thanks for sharing and inspiring, hunnie!
