I planted some flowers today.

I went outside and worked on my "garden" for awhile. I don't have a yard, being that I live in an apartment, but I do have some nice planters out on the porch! Enjoy!

Overview of the largest planter. It's actually a small fish pond that I filled with dirt.

White/pink daffodils:

Yellow daffodils:

Assorted pansies:

Very pretty purple pansy. It looks blue in pictures, though:

Pink hyacinths:

Cute little sign:

My little rabbit lawn ornament:

My other planter is just a large pot. I wasn't feeling creative about it.

Red tulips:

White/yellow daffodils:

I also have yellow/purple pansies in that planter, but I forgot to take pictures of them! Some of the plants look wilty, but that's because I just bought them today and they are just settling in! I hope you like the pictures!

How pretty, I love the variety! I want to plant a small garden out back so badly...BUT I have the black thumb of death and it would be a complete waste of money :grumpy:

Try daffodils. I haven't had any bad lucky with them! You just plant them and remember to water them every once in awhile! I can't keep a lot of plants alive, so I stick to what I know I can keep! I can't keep palm plants or snapdragons alive to save my life! :shock:

Oh, boy, do I know what you mean, kerrmann...I have such an awful time with plants!

I really wish I could claim to even have a brown thumb...but I really only have any luck with succulents or grass (as in wheat grass that you buy from pet stores, lol).

Love the garden pictures!! They're BEAUTIFUL!! And LOVE the sign, too!

Looks great. I can't wait to get outside and plant flowers.

I have a really hard time with succulents, too. I have even killed several cacti... I am doing well with a rubber plant and a little pitcher plant. I have killed a few spider plants, but the one I have now is doing well. I do well with outdoor plants, I've noticed. I haven't had problems with lilies, daffodils, and tulips. Well, I just have to remember to water them if it doesn't rain enough! The buckthorn and garlic mustard out past my porch seem to be thriving! :twitch:

Thanks, everyone!

EDIT: I wanted to add that Wal*Mart by us had their bulbs on sale for 50 cents. You might want to check your local Wal*Mart! They might have some still hiding in their floral area!
