Please read from the bottom!

When I asked Dustin if he had any requests for flowers, he requested Snapdragons. It's important to let Snapdragons dry out completely before watering them again, that's why we planted them all in one pot. Thank you Marlene for all of your hard work and equipment. We are already attracting the birds and the bees.
Petunias with a trailing flower to fill in the pot.
These pots are mostly Orange flowers with accents of blue flowers to bring out the Orange. These are the plants that the Canada Post employee will get to enjoy when delivering our mail.
This is one of our completed pots with yellow and purple flowers. It's very important to know which plants are "trailing". I think all of the flowers in this pot are trailing, so this one will bubble over and drip down over the pot.
Here are the flowers I picked for the pots. I know there are Snap Dragons, Super Bells, Zinia and Petunia, but I don't know what else I picked.

It was Gardening week this past week and here are the bags dirt, pots and some metal pots for pepper plants. Marlene generously donated her time, dirt, pots, and experience to make our front steps look like a country garden. We planted everything in about an hour.

Pretty! The colours look so happy. A good contrast to the snow yesterday!

I love snap dragons... and dungeons and dragons... they really go hand in hand.
