POSTAGE STAMP GARDENING


This is my staging area for planting. It is on the end of the patio - I plan to plant the urns soon with what we call Million Bells and I like pink!
I had to plant the Better Boy by himself no room on the other side!
I wanted to show what the tomatoes will look like when planted along the fence.


Here I'm getting ready to clean little Miss Mermaid with a wire brush.


This is how my postage stamp garden looks like when I'm all ready for summer! I used dwarf Alberta Spruce trees to edge my property borders 11 years ago. When five of them died in a drought a few years ago, I put the bench in their places and added a "dwarf" Crepe Myrtle (glad I didn't buy a full sized one!) There you have it from start to finish except I didn't show the Impatiens I planted in a planter on the patio and also in a pot I placed in the midst of a patch of varigated vinca vine.

TOMATOES = GOOD EATING!



Today I will be planting my 4 tomato plants and some Impatiens for my back garden. I promise to have post some pictures of my handiwork later - either tonight or tomorrow. As it is supposed to rain sometime tomorrow I have to get them in the ground today.

I'm also getting ready for company at the end of the week - so I'd better get cracking! Be back later!
