Oasis in the City

Everyone has their quiet place. Our patio is mine. I spent the day sprucing up my "garden." Most of my plants survived the mild winter but then the squirrels got to them. The flower pot on the left is new and I planted a peony bulb in the middle pot that looks like there is nothing in it. I love peonies. They were one of our wedding flowers and I have high hopes the bulb the will bloom.

After four years of working with my container plants, I no longer believe that I just kill plants. I haven't tried any indoor plants lately though. I have never had any success with those. I also can't keep impatiens alive. My patio doesn't get a lot of sun so I try to grow shade or partial shade plants. Impatiens look so beautiful at the store but they die as soon as they hit the patio. The same goes for mums in the fall.
