Matched Sets

I LOVE Better Homes & Gardens, and got the March issue on a flight home from Minnesota a couple weeks ago. This being the first time I've had access to a yard in my adult life (B's yard, not mine) I was tickled thinking about potted plants on the front porch. BH&G had these cute ones in the Matched Sets article potting bulbs with groundwater and annuals for porch pizzaz.  After the gym we ran to Home Depot to grab soil and plants.  Here's where I started:

It was so cold, and I didn't want to work outside.  Luckily my sweet boyfriend had the drop cloth out for a little handy work of his own and let me cultivate in the middle of his hardwoods.  And we'll see how it goes when the plants are growing in the pot. There's ranunculus in there!!!  Along with a bunch of other things that may or may not be too crowded for that pot.  Only time will tell!
Just for funsies I put some of the extra seeds, soil, and plants in this little guy.  It sits on the island that I acquired from Courtney's move from Lexington back home to Montana.
