Tom told me about this planter on one his trips to Wal-Mart. next time I went, I found one and bought it. I think I actually over-filled it - almost too many plants.... A cup of color and fragrance...
I attached a hanger I found in the garage to the deck rail. Turns out to be a good placement. The railing helps block the wind a little.
Found this at Wal-Mart too. I didn't want to place a box ON the rail, but the basket hangs over and the attaching hooks can be tightened to clasp tightly onto the rail. I bought some spreading petunias, and I think they will creep all over the rail and down the front of the basket before they are done! Next year I will get at least three more!
I am a big petunia fan! Simple little flowers - but I love how they spread and how fragrant they are! It's cool enough here that they will last until frost.
Another petunia pot - just another color. These are white - with a pink blush in the center. So pretty! You can see the dead bulbs in the pots on the deck. I have since dug them up and gotten they ready for another planting when October comes around. I'm hoping it will into a dedicated bulb bed by then.
This is the view from the second floor.
I've never gotten to plan the landscaping anywhere before. I'm looking forward to seeing the front yard look pretty again, like it did when my dad was alive. Having a home I am proud of is an old issue with me. I want it to feel like a home.

I just love those little teapot planters, they are fun and full of color. I love yours full of purple goodness.
Looks like your deck is full of vibrant colors.
The flowers look really pretty mom! I can't wait to see it. Hopefully after this summer I can. And I'm excited to see the changes you've been making to the whole yard. You're a very creative person and I bet it'll look great again.
