I did pick up some sweet basil in a pot at Walmart too. It had 3 plants in one pot, so I divided it and put one with each of the tomato plants, and the third, I put in a pot that I can bring in for the winter indoor garden.

My kitchen door opens onto a patio that gets almost virtually no sun in the summer time. Hubby made a little raised bed next to the patio, and was going to cut down one of the trees, but then chickened out.

So I use it to just hardened off plants started indoors before transplanting them.

One of the things my brothers moved from my mom’s house to mine was an old maple bureau that I had as a kid. I hated that thing and didn’t want it, so they stuck it in my shed.

It has three big drawers, which would make nice raised flower beds on my tiny piece of property. I just have to get working on it...maybe next season.

Good Afternoon. I have been quite busy planting sale Perennials. Recently I planted "Rose Saxifraga-4..Zebrina Mallow Malva..Georgia Blue-8...Verbena-8...Bee Balm-..Stone Crop "Spirit"..and Snap Dragons.

The Bee Balm really attracts Bunblebees. ( Height 12"-Full Sun) It's a very pretty plant having deep purple flowers that look like a Chrysanthemums.

The Rose (18" Full sun Partial Shade) has leaves that feel like rubber to the touch and tiny pink flowers.

Stonecrop (6"-full sun) has yellow flowers looking like Forsythia blooms.

Georgia Blue (4"-full sun)small purple blue blooms.

Verbena (Full to partial sun-8") deep red small blooms,

Zebrina Mallow Malva (full sun-24") Light purple bloom looking somewhat like a Rose of Sharon.

My Weigela I planted in the Spring covers over 3 feet and having reddish green leaves.

My Bitter Sweet is going threw shock. I started out with 8 seeds and I might have one make it threw some animal or animals digging in their pot.
