I came back from a fun few days in Gatlinburg to find the weather hot and the squash plants thriving. They are those little yellow squash that bush rather than vine and grow so well in containers. Tonight I'll plant a second container.
The morning glories are growing too, and are ready to be encouraged to trail on strings to reach the back porch railing. My dream is to have those deep purple flowers vining on the horizontal and upright railings.
This afternoon I did some bargain plant shopping at the big box store and scored a container of purple and yellow wave petunias that looked quite fine. And a containers of healthy gerannium leaves, marked down, I'm sure, because they were finished flowering and the flower color would be mysterious.
And a couople of classic yellow day lilies for the back yard.
More about the trip later, other than to say now that it was a family trip to celebrate Winnie's and my birthdays.
