Thanks, David! I have self-watering planters but it still seems hard to find plants (at least, plants that I like) that are happy with that summer sun!
I ordered seeds from Harris for about $5 for 25 seeds -- if they grow well for me I think it will be a good return on the investment (if not, it wouldn't be the first time..
) Really wanted to get the blue and yellow because I do like that color combination, but as a Michigan State alum I couldn't bring myself to have U of M colors out on the deck
. (I went for the blue and hot pink instead.)
