So it's been some time since the Philadelphia Flower Show, I apologize.
Warmer temperatures are finally here in the Northeast and I'm back ready to chat about garden and patio ideas. I often start projects that I've never done before, but I always enjoy a challenge. I'm a smart person and I'm not afraid to get my hands dirty! I grew up in a very small town, happy wearing denim and T-shirts but I love the high fashion of Fifth Avenue and a day at the spa. I like to compare myself and my husband to Green Acres, only he's the city boy and I'm the country girl. I love both worlds and I'm fortunate to have both in my life.
Needless to say, I don't always know which flowers should be planted where but I'm not afraid to try! So let's get some conversation going to help each other with those projects we attempt to do on our own.
I'll go first - I planted some Dahlias on my back deck. They haven't been blooming since I planted them which is about two months. They get sun but not a full day's sun; also, they're planted in a pot with Petunias. Can anyone tell me why they're not blooming? I wanted to have a mix of deep purple and bright yellow but I only have flower pots full of Petunias. Beautiful as they are, but not exactly what I wanted.
I've attached a few pictures from the show, they're beautiful no matter how old they are. It was a fantastic show!
