Finding Contentment

Container gardening

Although we both help everywhere, usually Mark is the vegetable garden officianado and I am the one who prefers the flower gardens.

This year, I decided to try my hand at a couple of cotainer gardens. Not just planting single plants into containers, but finding several plants that look good together and grouping them in one container. It went well, and here is what I have after letting them grow for a few weeks.

I think I like the subtle tones of the one on top best. But they both worked out pretty well, and I'm thinking similar arrangements may make good gifts next spring.

I had a mentor lady for a long time, that each spring would give me a large planter like this with a variety of flowers in it. I treasured it as a wonderful gift! These are gorgeous!

I come from a background of working in the Nursery Industry and schooling in Horticulture....I love container gardens....

You could do tomato plants next year with flowers and do them as hanging baskets as well, if you do the cherry tomato's that way you combine the flowers and veggies =
