2010 Annuals

This year I am growing all our annuals from seed. We usually purchase them but it seems the last few years they have become excessively expensive to purchase. I ordered all the seed from Park Seeds as they offered a good selection at reasonable prices. The total cost with shipping was $26 and this will fill four urns, two window boxes, a couple pots and provide bedding plants for the perennial borders. If I was to hazard a guess starting my own annuals will saving in the range of $120 dollars easily. Here is what I am growing:

This group will be planted in the cast iron urns
out front and second floor window box.

This group will be out back. The two Impatient's will be
planted in the cement urns and the cement pot in the shade
garden. The Fuchsia was overwinter from last year and will
be hung above the shade garden.

This Black Eyed Susan Vine will be grown for the second time.
It will be grown on the fence planter for added privacy.

These will be planted in the front perennial border if I can find any room.

*I will be following up soon with a post on the some ornamentals I am growing from seed shared by Granny & Miss M.
