It's all about the plants.

This time of year it's all about the plants.  Every place I go there are plants for sale.  I have to bring home a few herbs and just a couple of new flowers for my perennial garden.  Before I know it there are several flats of flowers lined up on my porch waiting to find their place in one of my planters.  I never have a plan so my yard looks different every year.  I see planters in yards that all look very planned and I think how beautiful my yard would look with something similar but when it comes down to it, I always end up with a messy hodge podge of flowers growing in a variety of planters. 

This strawberry pot is filled with dianthus in the side holes and a yellow pansy in the top.

Sometimes certain color combinations just appeal to me.

A variety of sedum in the top and miscellaneous bulbs growing in pots until they find a permanent home somewhere in my yard.

Chives, chervil, basil along with some annual flowers
