I admit. This was my first time planting flowers. Why I never ventured to plant before... I don't know. Despite the sweat dripping down my face in this 98 degree weather we're having, I enjoyed being outside, jamming out to some tunes, and gettin' in the dirt. I made no attempt to arrange them in any order. I'd rather they mingle.
It's not much, but it's a start. I got the flowers from The Gardens of Blackhawk Hardware -- a tucked away gem in the Park Road Shopping Center.
I've usually always planted mostly herbs and some vegetables. With Athens' crazy water ban during the summer, maintaining a garden just wasn't possible. This year, I started late because we didn't move in to our new place until the very end of May. But I was able to start some basil, cilantro, mint, parsley, cucumbers, and a tomato plant which we decided to hang -- never had a hanging tomato plant before (all of these purchased from some lady at the Charlotte Regional Farmers Market).
He's kind of worn down from the storm last night. :(
