New Plants

When Mike decides to put out plants - hang on. He always does it right and beautifully, even if it takes all afternoon. Yesterday we got about six varieties of coleus for the bed beside the porch, as well as three dahlia plants. He also got a load of soil to build up the beds. Also, we're trying to raise some ornamental peppers that are beautiful but were only available as seeds from Park Seed Co. in Greenwood (one of the places we went last Saturday). I hope to do better this year with tomatoes, squash, cucumbers, etc. - I have a tendency to get really excited about them in the spring, and then when it gets hot out don't want to work the "garden" very much.

A few dahlias (the red flowers) and a lot of coleus varieties. This should be really pretty when they bush out more in the summer.
