My Garden Urn In August

I’m so glad I take pictures to document my plantings each year.  It gives me a good way to remember how each plant did in its location.  If you remember, I shared one of those with you last month in this post ~ the urn by our garage door.  Here it is when first planted at the end of May, 2015.

The next time I documented it was on July 8th.

And here it is on August 16, 2015.  It’s amazing that it continued to grow so much more a month later!

As I said in that July post, this is coleus, licorice plant, and purple geraniums.  Just two of each plant!

I think this combination is a keeper to do again next year!

  10. Wow! They grew wonderfully! I had to replace my flowers in my planters last I week. I had geraniums and they died on me.

  11. Hi Kathy, your urn looks really pretty all filled in. What a great combo of plants you've chosen. I really like the licorice plant.

    Sorry I haven't been around. I've had some health issues to deal with and had surgery last week. Just got out of the hospital and am home recuperating.
