All is done. The Mankato Golf Club pots are out, the annuals planted and the retaining wall full of shrubs. The veggie garden I did in Nicollet is complete with toms, cucs, carrots, lettuce, green onions, onions, radishes, jalapeños, and green peppers. At our home, the pots and window boxes are done, the veggie garden complete and a few annuals dropped into the perennials for constant color. What did I plant? Pots of coleus, million bells, the new sweet potato vine, and the window boxes are my favorite with a sample of some special plants.
Here's what's in these window boxes that sit out my kitchen window.
Verbena, Superbena Dark Blue
Petunia, Glow Forest Fire
Angelonia, Angelface Blue
Cuphea llavea, Totally Tempted
Osteospermim, Orange Symphony
Heliotrope, Blue
Phygelius hybrid, Red Alert Cape Fuchia
The last one is my favorite. A few days after planting a hummingbird flew in for some nectar from it while I was washing dishes.
In this one is Nicotiana, Saratoga Red
Sweet Potato Vine, Illusian Emerald Lace
Carex trifida, Rekohu Sunrise
Vinca Vine
Coleus
A mix of Coleus
Coleus, Snazzy
Coleus, Splish Splash
Calibrachoa hybrid, Superbells Red

More pictures on the golf club plantings to come. We'll wait until they fill in some.
