Just because you rent doesn't mean you can't annoy your neighbors with 30 container plants in the front walkway, haha.

Some new and some old plants. Did lose 2 basil plants and a strawberry plant to the frost 2 nights ago, but everything else seems happy.

Ask if you want to know any of the plants, I keep 'em labeled!

I gots to admit, that "garden" looks a lot better than mine

I've found container gardening is actually a lot more fun. I can move things around, have about 75% less problems with pests, and I can pick out containers.

I just have to water and fertilize like crazy.

oh man i was totally expecting something entirely different

4/17/2008 10:16:10 AM

seriously, i love plants...i can't WAIT to move into my new house

4/17/2008 10:17:22 AM

my garden kicks ass... i blew a bunch of dandelions all over my front yard and now the whole thing is yellow and fluffy. goes nicely with the fucked up car that came with the house, which should be condemned.

My other garden is in apex. My parents let me rip up their back yard, put in a wall, a goldfish pond, and next week I'm putting in 2 raised beds for veggies.

I'll post those next week.

i really enjoy container gardening, but i ended up having to leave a lot of stuff in raleigh when i moved

do you ever visit plant delights nursery for their open house? they're open a couple weekends in may, i'm gonna try to come down for one weekend and get some cool things for my new apt

4/17/2008 10:26:55 AM

GREAT garden!!! I'm so jealous!

I wish I lived in a house so I could have one. In my current apt I can't even do the potted plant thing you have going on. I have about a dozen plants inside though! Sadly none of them are vegetables

4/17/2008 10:28:16 AM

i can't see the pics because they're blocked at work

4/17/2008 10:29:02 AM

I'll have to take a pic of my garden... I've got a bunch of plants on my porch and may add more...


What is that flower with the red outer petals and the yellow inner?

4/17/2008 10:31:10 AM

I need to suck it up and buy some plants. This whole starting from seeds thing isn't working for me. Except radishes. Those things took off like crazy.

Haha...no...I'm a ridiculously good-looking asian chick who enjoys bending over in flower beds.

4/17/2008 10:53:20 AM

4/17/2008 10:54:05 AM

I'll save the nude pics in the garden for another date.

Would anyone be interested in trading plant cuttings and such from their garden?

I guess before summer pictures? Most of these plants are re-emerged ones from the last 3 years. The roses are new (My first attempt). Most of the herbs and other perennials are 1-2 years old. The only new stuff are the dahlias, the marigolds, the bougainville (sp?), and the african daisies.
