Container Gardening

I noticed the neighbor to the south of us had a number of nice plants in planters on her patio. There is a reason for that. With all the trees and the grass there aren't many areas to dig where there is no root system. So these 4 planters have annuals like petunias, salvia, alysum, etc. for color. They really liked the rain we got last night. In the background that's a bird house for martins and they have been busy going in and out. The white barn belongs to the neighbors.
