Carrie,
Loved your article and pics. Beautiful assortment of containers and plants. I too love container gardening. Takes a while to water them all, but that's half the fun! I get to admire the beautiful flowers and day dream as I water them.

Thanks, I like to look at the pictures from year to year. And, of course, as you know, the pictures are nothing compared to the actual FLOWERS! I'm glad you enjoyed it.

This article was FUN to read, Carrie! I loved the cartwheeling assistant. Your container-garden is impressive. It's obvious your plants are loved!

Thank you, Emily! I try to make my articles fun to read. Assistant #2 (a.k.a. DD#2) has recently been accepted as an alternate on the H.S. cheer leading squad, so I tried to get her to pose in her cheerleader outfit. NO! She's not "allowed to" and, more troublesome, her undies would have shown! (They get another piece to the outfit on the bottom under the scrap of a skirt, i guess. . .)

Anyway, thank you for your kind words, I'm glad you enjoyed it!!

I am NOT spoiled. I work HARD the other 364 days a year. I resent what you're implying, Miss Jan! :-)
