OK, here are the results of yesterday’s shopping & labor (click images to enbiggen)…
There are many more after the break … I don’t usually break posts, but you’ll see why I did when you click below…

On top of washing the cars today, I went to Home Depot & bought stuff to plant out front next to my driveway to replace the stuff that was torn out just as it was looking established when they redid the curbs on my street. This is what was there last May:
This year I think I actually planted too much out there. I’ll try to get some pics of it tomorrow. But for the odd friends of mine that want to know what I planted, here it is in no particular order:
- Lithodora Grace Ward (Lithodora diffusa)
- Sneezeweed Dakota Gold (Helenium amarum)
- Pincushion flower Butterfly Blue (Scabiosa columbaria)
- Creeping phlox Emerald Blue (Phlox subulata)
- Superbells Saffron (Calibrachoa hybrid)
- Dalina Midi Sumatra (Dahlia hybrid)
- Then to fill things in: Marigolds, Blue Ageratum & 2 types of Society Garlic (Tulbaghia violacea and an unknown variegated variety, I had the variegated in a pot by the door last year)
Then for the pots that I have by the sidewalk & bench I got:
- Tuberous Begonia (Begonia tuberosa) - this big pot also has some more Marigolds & Blue Ageratum along with a green sweet potato vine (Ipomoea batatas) and a purple one (Ipomoea ‘Blackie’)
- 2 colors of Gerbera (a bright orange & a red-orange) in 2 little pots
- An Ornamental Pepper with cool purple & white variegated leaves for a purple pot with a teal base
Hopefully most of it lives.
