Patio Garden – Spring 2010

I have always loved plants and flowers and have gotten a lot of joy out of growing plants around the house and on my patio.   I don’t care for the ‘cluttered plant’ look and enjoy just a couple of pots with colored flowers to brighten up our balcony.  I have been really sick with a cold and was feeling slightly better today and took some time to play around more with the Canon Rebel XSi.

This Spring I had planted crocuses-tulip hybrid bulbs in the fall in our small hanging planter and arranged some sand dollars and shells we had found on various vacations in the planter.  Unfortunately, I found out that outdoor exposure has ruined the sand dollars and turned them brownish/green.

Also, I had planted daffodil bulbs this past Fall in the other pot; they have already bloomed and I replaced them with colorful Primulas.

Of course, white lights to put on in the evening adds the final touch and a ‘Summery Feel’.

This Summer I plan on buying another planter and attempting to grow Sweet Peas which are some of my favorite flowers.
