Planting results

almost 3 years ago

After a weekend of intensive lawn care and flower planting during a visit from my kids, my outdoor space looks bright and colorful. We had a perfect day yesterday and I invited a few of my neighbors over to sit on the deck and get caught up with how they are doing.

It was a lovely evening with birds singing and I felt like I fulfilled my social obligations after a year of isolation. We have all had our vaccines so getting together is becoming possible again.

@annephilbrick if you look closely in the above photo you can see where my garden hose comes up onto the deck. It is always on at the spigot and I shut it on and off with the sprayer attachment on the end of the hose. That makes it easy for me to keep everything watered. Potted plants dry out so quickly.

We are in for two days of rain and cool temperatures , and while I will miss not being able to sit outdoors, my flowers will love it!

My deck badly needs a fresh coat of stain and the kids have assured me that they will take care of that, too.

I'm anxious to see how well all the plants do!

Summertime! My favorite time of year.

I do see where the garden hose comes up your deck through the rails.
Summer visits are looking promising this year with friends and family. Awesome.

Thanks! If I get the hose coiled just right I can slide it. Out of the way underneath the bakers rack, but more often than not it is in a big loop off to the side. I am loving being out there and feel like my house grew another room!

That's a sneaky hose hiding under the Bakers rack in the first photo. It could be mistaken for snake...😯😅.
How awesome and delightful it would be sit out there with you and enjoy a glass of ice tea..and a slice of cheese cake..😉🤗.

Everything looks so beautiful !

I got a metal baking rack for outside several years ago, but it never made it to the outside. This makes me think I should empty it and get it out there. Love the way yours looks with the plans and such.

This rack is only a year old and is already peeling and rusting. I'm guessing it wasn't constructed to withstand the weather. I can live with the rustic look for a while, but will need to begin to look for something more weather resistant.

I knew what I got would not really last outside..... or I don't think it will, but I still liked the look. Possibly when I've seen them before there were somewhere outside slightly covered... maybe.

I have to be cautious where I place mine, otherwise it acts as a ladder for the squirrels to get up to the bird feeders😁

I wouldn't mind sitting on the deck too admiring your beautiful garden. Those dorotheanthus are intriguing.

You would be welcome to come sit on my deck anytime! We will see if I can keep the dorotheanthus alive! I think it rains here more than they will like. I have them slightly sheltered to try to control how much water they get.
