They look really good especially your 'Oddity' JoAnn it is my favorite once I got the answer of how to keep it alive.

Blue Spruce has never survived for me a pot or in ground in a protected area or in ground in blazing sun area. I do not know why it does not survive for me.

Oddity has a baby

Containers are filling out The really cold nights we had last week have affected the coleus but I have hope.








.

These poppies are just beyond the deck. I just had to pix

It is amazing how quickly the containers are taking off and filling in Jo Ann. I love all the color.

Lynn, thanks. There is nothing subtle about the deck this summer. I will have knee replacement surgery in a few weeks. I plan to spend recovery in resplendence.

Good plan.

Jo Ann, what better way to spend recovery time than on your beautifully done deck. Keep us posted on how you are doing after surgery.
I want to cheer you on in your recovery.

Thanks Lynn. I figure my summer is over after June 24th.

You will heal quickly Jo Ann. Cliff was back to golfing on a limited scale at six weeks from surgery.
You are from tough stock.

You will be well in a hurry sitting watching all your beautiful pots explode. They look great but your pots always look gorgeous.

Thanks everyone. We just had another cold night 44* I have doubts about my coleus. Stay tuned. It is what it is ,I wont reorder, the calibricoas and caladiums will just have to be extra good.

They may be okay. I had one of those years of late cold snaps. When they are in the pots with other plants it seemed to help them brave the cold.

Hope so.

Well Joanne, I used to do a LOT of container gardening, still do some, BUT, your types , colors and ideas are quite impressive.....Also unique are the way you acquire them!!!!....And the time you accomplishetd it in , well, sometimes it takes me that long to "get going in the morn.!!!!.....A JOB WELL DONE!......Happy gardening to all!!!!

And happy gardening to you Chuck.

Thanks Chuck.

Love this sedum elatinoides


Mystery sedum

Great sedum photos Jo Ann. I have no idea what the mystery sedum is. Maybe some one will come along and recognize it. Unusual looking.
