While I have been awaiting the finish of our patio so I can start planting in our backyard and start organizing, I decided to work on planting on our deck and in the front of our house.
(FYI the patio is still not done- if it is not done by the time I get home today- I might lose it!
However, the owner promised me it would be... but that is also what he said about Saturday and Sunday.
Anyway- deep cleansing breathe!)
So I headed to Merrifield and Home Depot.
To be honest I never not have much luck at home depot. But it is a good place to get basics and filler plants.
Merrifield I love- even though it is some times a little bit more expensive I find the flowers last longer and are tend to be more healthy.
So here are some additions to our deck.
Lovely hanging plant.
I purchased this at home depot. Was on special.
Couple small little plants.
All purchased at Merrifield.
The pot that has nothing in it is where I planted basil and mint seeds. We will see if anything shows up.
If not I might have to just buy a actually basil plant. We already have two mint plants.
My husband and I got thru A LOT of mint during the summer making mojitos!!!
For the deck I tried to find plants that do well in the sun or part sun. Our deck gets a decent amount of sun.
For our frontyard I only purchased flowers/plants that were full sun. Our front yard get some much sun that even the full sun plants sometimes have a hard time. However, thanks to the recommendation from a consultant at Merrifield Last year we had sucess
A picture from last year of our front yard- planted all the same flowers this year however, we have an additional hydrangea thanks to one of our neighbors.
Overall our deck and front yard are done and I am happy with that.
The next project will be getting the backyard ready once the patio is done.
Happy Planting....
