July is here already and my flowers and vegetable plants have been growing for some time now. My flowers are full and beautiful on my patio using impatiens and begonias and a hugh boston fern. I only get morning sun on the patio and then by 1 it is usually partially shady. In the front flower bed I used a rose bush and marigolds around the edge. I try to get perennials in the front, but some of the ones I have tried I don't care for and they will be removed. I used 2 different dahlias that produce large showy flowers and a beautiful brown willowy grass. In my boxes on the front porch I originally used petunias and they were wonderful, but alas, they get leggy and not so wonderful, so I switched them and used begonias there too, as they can stand anything!
I am in the process of learning more about gardening from the Horticultural site and from books I need to read.
Will write more when I can. I do love gardening, inside and out, and will know next time more than I know now.
Linda's things.
