Happy Monday, I hope you had a good weekend! I’ve been busy puttering and planting around the Potting Shed. The window boxes are filling in nicely and growing. They were planted after our freeze date mid-April, with a combination of sun-loving summer annuals . . .Petunias, Hot Lobeila, Coleus and Sweet Potato Vine. The window…

Grab your mug of coffee or tea and take a walk with me to see how things are growing around the Potting Shed. You can find me out here early mornings and in the evenings. You’re welcome to help me water, deadhead, prune and weed while you’re here too. ;) The window boxes have filled in…
May has been a busy month for potting, puttering and painting around the Potting Shed! Adding some window dressing with decorative shutters has been on my to-do list.

A tricolor pot of mums helps make the transition to fall, blending the colors of both seasons, while summer annuals are still in bloom. My window boxes are waning after a dry…

Normally by this time in August, the garden has gone to pot. ;) It’s amazing what rain showers can do for the garden as opposed to daily watering with a hose. The mandevilla vine planted on a trellis between…
