Relaxing on the Front Porch

I LOVE our front porch- it makes me smile with the hanging baskets all planted now with fun flowers and the rocking chairs my parents gave us for Christmas this past year.  Hoping the flowers live this year- ha!  Last year they dried out in a minute, I watered them every day but all the flowers died, not to mention they were not shade flowers last year, so they didn’t last.  This year I lined the baskets with plastic bags, cut some holes for drainage planted inpatiens(a type that grow over the pot and hang in a nice lilac color!), sweet potato vine(love the lime green tone!) and another white flower called Abunda Giant White Bacopa(which may need more sun that it will actually get in this spot but they looked so pretty at the nursery so I had to get them) and so far so good.  I’m hoping they grow in all nice and full- I will post more pics then!

Summer’s here so go relax on your porch: sit in the rocking chair with a cold drink and watch the lightening bugs at dusk.  Enjoy:)
