Here’s what it looked like in June.
In the large container by the door, the cardoon has finally started to do its thing. The Bordeaux petunias are actually quite aggressive and have crowded out much of the light yellow Superbells and the purple sweet potato vine. Overall I’m pretty happy with this, but I wish the sweet potato vine would put it into high gear a little.
And here it is back in June.
Here they are in June.
Here’s the June view.
It’s an improvement over what they looked like June.
Did you notice that there’s been an addition? I have been wanting to give growing citrus (indoors in the winter) a try for awhile and happened upon a nice Bearss seedless lime and glazed pot at a local nursery’s 50% off sale a couple weekends ago so I thought I’d give it a shot. Don’t be too impressed with the lime on there: it came on the plant.
In June, it looked like this:

And lastly, the tree stump planter in the new garden has filled out nicely and continues to provide a much-needed spark of color on the far side of the yard.
Here’s what it looked like June.
Your planters are all gorgeous! I never seem to have that kind of success, I'm obviously doing something wrong (or I'm too lazy to water!)
They look terrific! There is no way you'd see mine right now!
They look great, esp. since we can compare with June. I definitely think you need white in that deck planter to tie it to the pergola but also because it is white and big! Love the window box. Can you enjoy all the mix from inside? If not, I would simplify and just use the nasturtiums with a big leaved plant. Really impressive group of containers.
Your pots look great! I especially love the orange nasturtiums and the purple together (am I mad?). Thanks for sharing your successes. -Beth
