You’ve created a monster.
Your feedback has me invigorated.
I’m loving taking videos of the garden. It gives me a new perspective which I never anticipated. It allows me to take a step back and evaluate the garden through a, ahem, different lens.
For today, here’s a look at my back deck. The views out into the garden and the containers that reside here. As you’ll see, I could really use your expert opinions on how to improve these pots o’ plants.
There may even be some actual tomatoes.
So I’ve heard.
Enjoy.
for those of us who are no longer 45 or 55…. container gardening is the way to garden. Love to see yours. Whatever works!
Sweet potato vine….beautiful, nicely done.
Everything looks great as always. I’ve actually ne er put a perennial in a pot before, but perhaps I should try it. A few blogs ago you asked for nurseries. I have the Mecca of all nurserieshere in Maryland called Homestead Gardens in Davidsonville, MD. It’s huge and I generally buy most of my plants from there.
Does anyone have any issues with their Veronica Speedwell with the bottom leaves turning yellow?
They are blooming like crazy, but I can’t seem to stop the yellow leaves.
Thanks!

You’ve done some really nice plant/flower pairing in the pots. Particularly liked the one with the lavender/sedum/sambucus. The bright magenta pot too. The color of the pot with the pampas grass is heavenly. I want it. I really shouldn’t be giving advice but since you asked. . . the ninebark are beautiful in their full grown glory which I don’t think the pots in their diminutiveness can do them justice. What if you transplanted the ninebark into the garden in the corner where the fence angles meets (in other words on the other side of the fence, on either side, in the ground). That way it could provide a coppery backdrop for the lovely white fence. I would also like see to a grouping of two, maybe three pots — maybe a large pot (with a tall grass?) and a vine flowing over the side next to a smaller one with? — wherever you want the eye to be drawn. I love the sambucus! Feel free to disregard my comments.
