Hopefully when they are finished I can do a little more to the porches. As much as we split time between here in the lake, I think I will do less containers this year. A few, that I can transport to use on the deck, then bring back home.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6008124157424133980.post-71562701421040997992012-04-09T09:42:30.089-04:002012-04-09T09:42:30.089-04:00Your flowers are lovely I can't wait until May...Your flowers are lovely I can't wait until May so I can plant in New Jersey.Cynthiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18110661139781107705noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6008124157424133980.post-16234739245894269042012-04-09T09:23:17.826-04:002012-04-09T09:23:17.826-04:00Your baskets hanging from the railings will fill o...Your baskets hanging from the railings will fill out in no time.<br />I cheat when I can and buy hanging baskets loaded with plants and then transplant them into my containers.Linda https://www.blogger.com/profile/16180202773147549907noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6008124157424133980.post-20050047005672798022012-04-09T08:44:55.207-04:002012-04-09T08:44:55.207-04:00Your flowers are beautiful and they will look wond...Your flowers are beautiful and they will look wonderful as they grow and trail...Penny from Enjoying The Simple Thingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01480355122441712250noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6008124157424133980.post-91128716853473848302012-04-09T08:34:59.130-04:002012-04-09T08:34:59.130-04:00I am def gonna try the sweet potatoe vine this yea...I am def gonna try the sweet potatoe vine this year.

I am itching to get some sweet potato vine and other plants myself, but am waiting. Every few days I hear about a "possible freeze warning" for the night and I'd rather not lose anything. Meanwhile, I'll enjoy my pansies, but you can bet that I will be at the nursery getting plants as soon as the threat of frost is past!Kathy @ Creative Home Expressionshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01341667486449125153noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6008124157424133980.post-67935460910392917762012-04-09T06:30:10.146-04:002012-04-09T06:30:10.146-04:00Your porch is looking so pretty.
