Getting so much better all the time!!!

This year, unlike last year, every day that goes by leaves me more pleased with my window boxes...last year I got more bored with each day. Monochromatic and dull. This year, clashing and fun and changing all the time.

 

nasturtiums and portulacas

 



 

 

I just wish my iphone could pick up the wonderful pink of the portulaca. It is so much warmer and lovely than the icy color that appears in the photo.

Starting to shape up

One thing about doing window boxes with seeds and perennials...you have to be patient! Finally after months of waiting the window boxes are  filling out. I am so proud!!! I only spent 60 dollars total this year on the terrace, the plants in front of our door and the begonias down below. It is not as spectacular as in the past, but in some ways I am prouder.
