The sunshine came out after twelve noon. I planted some–but not all–of the plants–after clearing the clutter on the patio. I installed a new pump in the fountain. Tomorrow, a young man will wash both my trailers. Due to all the Winter rain (??) trailers have algae, or mold, all over them. ~~ In the pictures, you can see the small recently received plants. With my tender loving care, I expect they will grow and flourish!! (The Hummingbird-Trumpet Vine awaits my attention.)  ~~ Marigolds, and Petunias, from Lowe’s–but several other Lowe’s plants awaiting my time and attention. I was tired –so I’m getting some rest as I prepare this blog message.

Last year, Petunias did poorly in these hanging baskets lined with coco fiber. Perhaps the bamboo planters (purchased on sale last Fall) will hold the moisture for the Petunias?!

I’m game for experimentation. The plants in milk crates, on the chairs, so they can be moved between sunshine and shade. Strawberry plants, and cucumber vines, can climb on the back of the chairs. ~~ Frankly, the planter at the top of one rain barrel may be too shallow for the Marigold plants–but, worth a try?! Likewise, Petunia plants in bamboo planters may–or may not–survive but, again, worth a try?!
