    Laura, thank you so much for writing these posts about container gardening πŸ™‚ I’m not very good at putting together planters, but I do like the colour they add to our front porch.

    Now I know that I’ve been watering my containers at the wrong time – I’m switching from evening to morning! All the information about fertilizers is really helpful – my container plants must hate me, I’ve NEVER fertilized them.

    Enjoy all your plants this summer πŸ™‚

      Glad I could help, Kelly! For the planters, start out easy and choose all one plant – maybe all petunias, or all geraniums, and add some trailing vinca for texture. The impact of all one color will be stunning, and much easier than trying to create an entire “garden” of plants too! Once you change the watering and add a bit of fertilizer – your plants will love you again. I promise! πŸ˜‰
