Last year I admitted to being my neighborhood's crazy flower lady. What do you mean you don't have forty potted plants on your deck?* They're so pretty! This year I got a slightly earlier start on planting so hopefully I can grow even bigger and more beautiful flowers, not that I had any problems last year. After I was done planting and watering each one I took a photo. A "before photo" to be able to look back on when these babies really start to grow and bloom. Most don't really look so impressive yet but I'm excited just imagining how great they're going to look in a few weeks.
This year I'm trying to step outside of my comfort zone a little with flowers. When I first started doing flowers each spring (three years ago) my mom made most of my planters and filled them with flowers she's super comfortable growing - petunias. Last year I got a bunch of petunias because I know I could grow them well and then branched out a little with some marigolds, salvia (which did both did AMAZING), and a few other things. This year I got all my old favorites, a few new things and I'm even trying my hand out at growing some peppers. Since it's still early in the season I'm now on the hunt to find more flowers I've never grown before to plant.
Anyway, here are my some of my newly planted goodies. I'll definitely be sharing photos of them from time to time to update you on their growth because as silly of a hobby as growing flowers on my deck is I can't help but get really into it. I LOVE FLOWERS!
And of course, it's not even possible to talk about my flowers without including a photo of my planting pal, Lloyd. I think he might even like planting as much as I do.

*I said 40 as a joke but I'm currently resting at a solid 30 planters full on my back deck. Although who knows how long before I add more. Haha!
