Traditionally, Mother’s Day is the day I start my planting for the season.\u00a0 I make it easy on the guys and just ask that they buy the flowers I plant on that day.\u00a0 Here, I have flower boxes on the deck that I plant in every year.<\/p>\n

I didn’t realize until this year that Rick’s habit is go with me to pick out the flowers for the year.\u00a0 He gets to make the final decision on color.\u00a0 This year, they had Patriot Dream petunias, which gave me a nice array of blue, red, and white.\u00a0 This along with the white alyssums were the choice for planting.<\/p>\n

I picked up some yellow, peach and red snapdragons and petunias for\u00a0my side pots.\u00a0 I added in some Choleas for added color.<\/p>\n

Returning home, I put in to beginning arranging flowers and getting them into the dirt that will be their home for the season.\u00a0 My deck looks very nice.\u00a0 The smell is heavenly from the alyssums.<\/p>\n

Welcome, spring.\u00a0 Now I need to move on some of my permanents flower beds to add in and get them updated.<\/p>\n

A little gardening in the dirt is good for stress.<\/p>\n

Happy Mother’s Day to all!<\/p>\n
