Despite all the ups and downs with our weather, my baskets and containers are doing just great. Most have at least doubled in size. It has been exciting to watch. Here are a few of them …
I am hoping you can see this … this is an all white Petunia Basket that has been in my Container Garden since late Spring. Today I discovered that two of the flowers have gone bi-colored. A little pink anyone … How cool is that!!!!!!!
This Sheppard’s Hook is in the backyard. These baskets were each planted with 3 tiny Petunia plants.
These are my Front Porch Hanging Baskets. Each began with 5 tiny plants of Petunias. I am excited cuz they are finally filling in and beginning to trail.
This little Watering Can is my favorite … One little Million Bell Petunia plant … and it now is beginning to trail. Wonder if by summer’s end if I will be able to see the watering can?
This back patio basket is getting so nice and full … love the yellows and purples together.
And last, two Petunia baskets in my Container Garden that started out with 3 small Petunia in each. They are just beautiful, and now cascading down into my stones.

Those are lovely, GranT. I’m not that crazy about petunias, but those look really good.

Thank you everyone!!! This is the first year for really planting Petunia for me. Didn’t have enough sun at the old home to grow them. But I do really like the Wave Petunias … they grow so nice. And, to be honest, never messed with any type of Containers either … so I am having a blast this year; spreading my wings so to speak. :-)

Thank you Bob, Bon and E … I’m liking the Petunias too. Strange that my colors this year are in the Pinks cuz normally I am an “orange, yellow and purple” kind of gal. :-)
