Out Front

 

Deadheading some of the tulips today, planting calibrachoa and dusty miller into my planter on the stoop, and direct sowing some seeds. I also have poppies, zinnias, and others.

My tulips are blooming.

Put down soil and scattered packs of seeds. Then topped again with more soil and gave the little area a watering.

Planted alyssum near the rock edges but have to get a few more packs of seeds. That should look nice if it works.

A windy day for the tulips. I ordered more of this variety for the window box. Didn't think they were perennial, but they are. I pulled the others after they bloomed the first year not knowing better.

Had to put back the little fencing. Dog pooped in the flower bed. I smelled it when I came home on Friday but couldn't locate it until today. Hopefully it will deter whoever is walking their dog from going to the bathroom here.

Can't wait to see what seeds survive. Rain is expected later in the week. Nothing like rainwater. What happened to my plan to remove all the ivy and add more brick edging? The landscaper didn't return my
 e-mail. Maybe too small of a job. Well planting in the ivy worked for the bulbs. Let's see if it works for the seed.
