It's been a busy potting season this spring. So far, I've gone through 250 pounds of Mircle Gro potting mix just to top off the top third of my pots. Saturday, I planted 50 marigolds (of 6 different varieties) in various planters. Sunday, I planted 47 more annuals, mainly petunias. Monday and Tuesday were days off due to stormy weather. Wednesday, I planted another 26 annuals. Today, Thursday, I planted an additional 19, mainly Calibrachoas. Today Chile helped by checking things out.

I still have at least a quarter more of my back deck plants to do. But I'm currently out of potting soil, so that may not be for a couple of days. Then, it will be on to all the annuals in my potted plants in the courtyard. I can't say I love getting my hands dirty and all the hours it is taking, but a summer of beautiful blooms will be worth all my work. Chlle agrees... They will give her shade.
