Annual Flower Purchase

We got up bright and early and went to both Pinter's and sell. At Pinter's we purchase

18 wave petunias in white and purple
12 regular petunias
12 yellow marigolds
8 white verbina
8 dusty miller
8 regular petunias
8 snap dragons
5 coleius
20 impatience
1 new guinea impatience
8 zinnias

12 bags of mulch

We purchased at Sells

3 mums for planing in the front. I'm still trying to get these to grow as a perennial
8 tomatoes
4 cherry tomatoes
8 cucs
4 cantaloupe
4 zucchini
2 packs of onions

We came home and we able to plant all the annuals in their pots except the verbina, because we need to paint those pots again. We had three flowers left over, but they were essentially free and we didn't really need them. We discovered that we had purchased way too many wave petunias. Only three will fit in one deck box and 4 in each hanging pot. So Wayne went to get the other box and we put it up on the diagonal part of the upper deck and filled it too. It was a great idea and we hope everything grows and looks great.
