Grow you plants! GROW!

So today I planted things and spray painted more pots. Click on the above picture to see it larger. I have planted bouquet dill, enough basil to start an Italian restaurant, lavender, ELF sunflowers in pots, marigolds, marigolds in pots, poppies, day lilies, red morning glories (along trellises - not in this pic - they are barely sprouting), pant... pant... Also, there's pineapple sage, chives, and salvia. There is a succulent in a hanging basket. Tomorrow I finish, a few more sunflowers, some ground covering flowers, one more hanging basket, and that big brown pot behind the bluish one? It will have a chicken wire form and plant scarlet runner beans. Around front there are three hanging baskets with "weeds" - Bolivian Jew, Wandering Jew, and some other cute fast growing basket filler. There is an iron stand with more Bolivian Jew. I love that stuff. I think that is all I can handle. I don't think I can haul another 60 lb. bag of dirt from my vehicle. Well, maybe one more bag... I actually need it. BUT - that's it. This stuff just needs to start growing! I saw the first hummingbird of the season and will put out the hummingbird feeder tomorrow but then - I'm serious - that's IT.
