Matched Sets in the Sun

Happy Saturday!!  While hoping for good weather to take action and carpe diem... here's a little update


You remember Carl Sr. and Carls Jr., the planters inspired from the Better Homes and Gardens issue a month or so ago?  Carl Sr. is blowing up!  I'd been so worried about this little baby because I've wanted the ranuculus to do well.  I love them!  They're so beautiful!  Last week there was one tiny cosmo sprout and this week guess what?  Ranunculus!



Ranunculus Sprout

See the red arrow.  Pretty cute, eh?  But not just the one, there's more...

Sprouts here, here, and here

There's three more.  There's coming up between the ground cover all over!  I did have to trim back the viney stuff to make sure that enough light is getting to the guys just now growing up from the micro-understory

Ok, just one more picture

*Side note: at a recent trip to Home Depot, Bill got to see a grown ranuculus and check out how beautiful the flowers are.  I secrely think he is excited for The Carls to grow up
