Yesterday R and myself went out and got our little plant buddies that will be living on our deck this year. Today I planted them, making a gigantic mess I hope didn't make too big of a mess on the deck below us when I was cleaning up!
This year we're revisiting the upside-down tomato thingy and the strawberry side-hole pokey planter (Pretty sure these are the trademarked names). Last year I loved the tomatoes a little too much, and constantly over watered them... giving most of the ones in the middle and end of the season "stem rot". And we started with only seeds in the strawberry planter... which never grew into anything at all, so at least we're already ahead of the game this year in that department!
We've also got some basil, rosemary, and thyme started in these little guys.
We tried some shady and half sun plants for the bottom pots this year, and hope they enjoy their time on our deck facing east into the forest. Also, decided to try a sweet red pepper plant, second from the right. Must not have gotten a closeup of that guy.

We'll keep you posted on how everybody's doing as the season goes on. I love this weather, and also bought some tennis balls today in hopes of getting R out on the court. Can't wait to get a few more miles logged in my brand new bike jersey too... Maybe R has a pic she can upload of that?
...hopefully not. haha

Oh now it *really* feels like spring! Love seeing your little plants nestled in their pots. I bet you'll have much better luck this way than starting from seed.
