Final batch of fall flowers.

Yesterday I had to plant more fall flowers. I mean it's only November 20th. November 20th. I am praying for an intern next summer or for our branch to get another assistant because I will certainly drown next spring. These containers are for the 3rd in command at my company. Needless to say they needed to be perfect. I look forward to the pansies perking up. Also when I planted them it was in the 40s. Today it was 62. Those berries are most likely going to brown meaning they'll need to be replaced before T-gives. Oi. Come on weather, help a sista out! I love the window boxes. They give me joy. Very few actual flowers. I hope you enjoy them

Window box- NO flowers! A little blurry as it's up more than a story.

Once those pansies perk up this cluster of pots will look fab. Also thank God for a crew to help clean up!

Front tier planting.

Front container. Ties in the street pier.

I wish this were easier to see. It is goregous. so many varieties of color. I am also glad i went with Algerian Ivy. Once it settles it'll really set a nice tone!

And my friends, the show stopper! This picture can NOT do this window box justice. 

Taking time.

Another day, another flower pot. This is from the same client as the previous entry. What you can't see from this picture is that the container is positioned at the top of a set of stairs. The height from the grasses give an almost pillared looking entrance to the lower pool level. The conservatory in the background is a nice touch too. Tomorrow I am planting my last set of fall containers. To say I am excited is an understatement. Sadly, I am only 2 weeks away from Holiday containers. I'll take any time off that I can get!

Nobody sees a flower really; it is so small. We haven't time, and to see takes time - like to have a friend takes time.

The beginning is the most important part of the work.

I have decided to create a blog of all of the flower pots that I do so I can share them with family and friends who don't have facebook. While that number continues to decrease (welcome to the 21st century dad, facebook is glad to have you!) I realized that many of my friends like what i do maybe strangers on the internet would too.

So here we go, my favorite pot from this fall. Setting expectations high, trust me they don't all look like this. What you may not see in this picture is the mum (right below the pyracantha berries) that exploded a beautiful white a week or so after it was planted.

Wishing all of you a happy Veterans Day. Thank you to all those who served!
