I got my flowers!!!
I finally went to the nursery down the road and bought 2 long green window boxes for the deck. The guy who was helping me was wonderful! We put together red geraniums, a stalk plant for each, and blue hanging little flowers.
He was such a sweetheart. I couldn't carry the soil bag, so he half filled the planters with soil and put the plants in where they were going to be planted.
I bought my plants at the nursery rather than Home Depot because I know nothing about planting outside, hardy plants, etc. If they die, I can go back for replacements at a discount too.
I also bought a fuscia plant that, I think, is absolutely gorgeous. It's for the front porch, which is now taken up with garbage - packing stuff and boxes. I cleaned out a lot, and there's no room in my garbage room. So...I'm going to pick that plant up tomorrow, after the garbage man comes.
I also got all of the angels, etc. on the porch. Here are some pix. Ignore the pile of garbage please!
