(I prefer to call it playing rather than working.) Your basket turned out great. I like petunia's too. They do well with the GA heat. Pansies don't last very long. I need to divide my day lilies too.

They are too thick and need to be thinned out.Kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16938178631385143773noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-208458117818248970.post-58033212274019017712012-03-22T06:53:51.917-04:002012-03-22T06:53:51.917-04:00I have some hanging pots just waiting for me when ...I have some hanging pots just waiting for me when I get back from the big show.
