That sounds lovely!
I wish I had a photo from last year that I could share. This year’s planter isn’t doing so well. I really like the combination that was in your post. It makes me rethink my choices for next year.
Mr. FF and I discussed our mailbox today on our daily walk. A year ago, we discovered that the next door neighbor’s gas and electric lines run right underneath our mailbox and several feet surrounding it. The former owners had concrete bricks set around the post.
We discussed maybe making a raised planter around the mailbox. The front of our house isn’t all that close to the street, so not many can see beyond the front fence. The delivery people have a nice walk to the front porch, but people who walk by the house don’t get to see that beautiful walkway.
I hope to give them something to smile about when they are just at the sidewalk in front of our house. It is full sun there. Thinking of mixing perennials and annuals. The perennials need to be hardy. The salt and snow is pushed up on our driveway and the mailbox by the town crews.
