It's a beautiful spring day.  And hope is triumphant again.  I planted some Lobelia - Breezer Blue in a hanging container. It is joining the nemesia (which is not looking too well).  Also put it in my wall planter. The label says it blooms continuously early spring to frost. Requires shade and grows 12-14 inches tall.

Repotted the Maverick geranium that had been totally pot bound in its original pot.

Also planted one little vinca minor. We want to replace the vinca major with the minor version in the back yard. Bowles variety requires sun to part shade and grows only 4-6 inches high. Space 8 -12 inches. I wonder if it can tackle our overgrown vinca major - with our help of course.

Here's a list of some plants that I have tried to grow in  my garden.
