A green thumb

Yesterday RJ and I got to plant some of the plants that got from the farm. I was surprised at how well they had grown. Because we do not own the land here, a lot of them are in pots.


Here is a view from the driveway toward the end of the trailer. We can see this from our living room.


RJ suggested that we put some plants around the birdbath. The hostas were from the farm. I didn't know that they had gotten so big. I have 3 large ones and a small one. The concrete came from the farm and RJ placed it over where there had been some kind of tree that was cut down. They used something to mulch what was left of the tree. Anyhow RJ had to level the site, place the concrete and then the birdbath. The concrete was heavy.


Here is our hanging baskets and bird feeders. You can's see it but we have a regular bird feeder on the opposite side of the humming bird feeder. The plants in the circle were what was planted around the deck on the farm. They are perennials so I hope they will come up next year.



Here is my gardenia plant on the left and a double bloom hibiscus on the right I think I might put them on the deck in the back.


Here is my azalea, has pink blooms. I think I might have to take this in this winter. Hope I can keep it alive till next year. It is near the white table and chairs in the front.


Here are some flowers that I planted in boxes that were on my deck on the farm. They are petunias and not sure what the others are. I know this is something that I will have to plant every year. They are placed in front of the trailer instead of digging flower beds. Too many rocks in the ground to do that.


And here is RJ proud of the work that he had done. I must admit that I think we did a great job. Now if I can only get motivated to finish the walls in the house. It was just too nice to be inside yesterday.
