Little Miss Mango, How Does Your Garden Grow?

I've decided to start posting pics of my planting progress. I feel proud of it, however rudimentary it might be. So, you'll have to bear with me as I learn and take pride in my accomplishments!

This is the front of my home, near my mail box. Those larger green plants are going to be day lillies, I also planted echnaciea, something that's supposed to be large and yellow and you can sort of see the bluish flowers along the fence.

This is the phalic fairy, nestled between what will eventually be a field of day lillies.

This is my first attempt at using planters, rather than ground planting. There are about 4 different plants/flowers in this pot and I think it's going to look splendid in about 2 weeks.


This is the back porch, a funky vew of my petunia's. And my foot it seems. Woops.

This is another attempt at potted lovelieness.


This is atop our patio furnishings, C's Mom Gail gave us this before they moved and it's really a lovely set. I found a citronella candle that smells really good (not at all like citronella!) and an ashtray for our smoker friends (so they can STOP THROWING THEIR CIGARETTE BUTTS IN MY BACK PATIO! This not a subtle hint in case you didn't notice smoker friends!)
That's about it for now, more and better quality pics to come.
