I did a little planting today. I filled two whiskey barrels with flowers that should be able to make it through some cool nights. The colors are so vibrant. I tend to lean towards red, yellow and purple flowers. Whiskey barrels are my favorite containers. They really withstand the cold winters we have in the north east. Last year I needed to put rocks in the dirt to hold up some plants that were drooping. This year I left them in just because I thought they looked good. There are four candle holders, the red ones are rather tall and did not fit in the picture. I love sitting out on the deck at night and lighting the candles. Look closely and you can see blue stones that I threw in just for fun.

The flowers look good.I like the blue rocks it gives it the beachie look.I do not know if that is a word but it sounds good.
The beachy look is what I was going for. Now if I could just remember where I bought the rocks I would go and buy a few more bags.
Denise, your garden and home are to die for! I feel honored you complimented mine. I know gardens up north are just now coming to life and I just wanted to share what is already blooming, each day in mine. As you can see I've not laid down my mulch yet. I wish I had some whiskey barrels, yours is darlin'. I do have a whiskey barrel fountain that I have tiny goldfish in. Can't wait to see more of your garden. Hugs, RoseMarie

Oh, your deck sounds great with candles for after dark lounging. When I was young we had a front porch that we sat out on almost every night. I would love to have some place like that now.
ps. the blue rocks are a nice touch.
I am so jealous of all you wonderful ladies who have flowers blooming in your gardens already. It's just beginning to get a little green here in MA. I am keeping my fingers crossed that the sun stays out and the plants begin reaching for the sky.
Winter is over yippeeeeeeeeeeee.
Love your flowers in the bucket.
xoxo
Cathy
