I would like to raise tomatoes - - - kind of have a spot out by the shed - not sure though if I want to do the work. Watering would be hard out there. Hmmm . . .

They make me think of Grandma Wheat who, at some point, had them in her brick planter boxes. My flower plan for this summer is similar to yours - geraniums and greenery, and petunias. Last year I wasted money on some more exotic things that I obviously didn't know how to care for. <br /><br />A new addition this year will be sunflowers - a touch of Kansas here in Nebraska. I ordered a bush variety that only gets 3' tall (rather than the 6'-8' that standard sunflowers can grow) and have multiple blooms per plant. They will go along the front of the house and along one of the out-buildings. <br /><br />I have my vegetable garden planned out as well. After several years of experimenting and trying things that either failed to grow (peas and peppers) or that we didn't use in a timely manner (lettuce!). This year we will have three varieties of tomatoes (one for canning, two heirloom varieties for eating fresh), green beans, cucumbers (mostly for pickling) and canteloupe (Dave's favorite). We are also going to have a go at raising potatoes in a trash can - an idea I found on Pinterest.<br /><br />Hope to spend a little time on your relaxing patio this summer!<br />Tamihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16094928747500699123noreply@blogger.com
