Author Message   Calendula  My Weather My Garden Posted on Thursday, March 06, 2008 - 02:35 pm EST :    Hi everyone; My first post in the "Container" forum. Here are some Petunias as I have them on our deck every year. I like to invite you, Moonsinger, to jump right in and tell us about your containers you keep every summer around your house in beautiful British Columbia. Tell us all about your trials and tribulations we like to hear about it. (And maybe one day,,, a piccie of your lovely flowers?) No rush but love to hear from you. Your friend from way back.

This year will be a container garden year. 1. If I can keep grandsons out of them, soft dirt yummy 2. When daughter decides which colours she would like to have for her wedding. Today I went out for coffee with a young friend of mine. On the way home I stopped at Home Depot to check out what is coming in and low and behold they had pansy baskets for 8.98. Couldn't pass that up so I bought 3. This time of year every thing is so grotty. I know it is going to start to be brighter, but at the moment everything is brown & covered in algae. I will have to go to the Farmers Almanac and see what kind of weather they are thinking that we will have this year. Thanks for the note, and if I do learn how to put a picture on line :-( I will do so, but you know me...computer challenged.

Had to laugh about the "dirt" and "yummy" part. Guess all kids are the same. Still white flowers for the wedding on the agenda? Pretty. Talk soon and take care. Calendula - Ontario, Zone "5b"
