Love the kitties!
I was starting with my coral roses, orange poppy, purple perennials ( Johnson's blue geranium, a lavender campanula). I start most of my perennials from seed. I LOVE wintersowing. I had saved lots of soda bottles to use as containers, but threw out the ones that I didn't use to move plants. Moving the roses, yarn, fabric, clothes, furniture, dog, crazy stealth cat......I got the movers to move my slate pavers also, but left behind some rocks. They kept "playing blonde" with the pavers. I had to remind them. I think I must have been one of their most eccentric clients. Friends helped me move the delicate and small stuff first, the movers got the rest. If they were throwing my china like they were throwing the boxes of yarn, I would have exploded!!!
I also have gorgeous purple zinnias. they are great for filling in places - they are supposed to repel bunnies also. At least the bunnies don't eat them.
I like the thread with the combination plantings, will have to take notes.
I am glad to have blooms at all here.
We had nice, cool weather today, but I was inside dealing with the computer and phone. I HAD to fax something last night and got the wires all confused on the cable modem. I have also only been able to get one phone to work so far. The cable guy will have to come out tomorrow and check everything again.
I have a young ebb tide - my only dark purple rose.
I want this entry garden to be bright coral/orange and dark purple. I'll have to check out may night. I like the contrast of spiky salvias and full roses.
Winston the pug is snoring away on my peach leather loveseat (actually on the quilt protecting the loveseat from you know who).
