This is the window box that catches the morning light.
I see it as I stand in the kitchen and drink my first cup of tea.
I have too many things in my life at the moment
to be a good gardener.
That time will come.
I hope.
But I pull out all the stops for my window boxes.
I love them becausethey are small landscapes
which can be planted on a whim.
You feel in control.You can experiment with colour and shape.
And then you can throw them away and start all over again.I like that too.

Little landscapes, that's definitely what they are...and lovely too! :o)
Beautiful! Are you for hire? :)
What do you mean, you don't have time for gardening?!
That, dearest, is gardening!
If tomorrow is bearable outside, I shall take a couple photos of my wilting disasters aka flowers and then you will know what a "black thumb gardener" I am.
I have the best of intentions, every winter I pour through garden mags, and every spring I locate the R.I.P. plants which didn't survive Cheeseland's winter, and I go forth to the greenhouse and tell them what I think I want.
I follow their directions, and something goes wrong between the planting and late July. Every year.
I am The Grim Reaper of Flora.
But not Fauna--no no never!

Beautiful.
Every time I try to take a close-up photo of my flowers (which are not nearly as lovely as yours), it turns out all blurry.
I'm bowing down to you, I ran to the grocery store for a pot of impatiens when I learned we'd be having guests on the back deck, which was sort of being "re-done" thus, no flowers whatsoever!

Alice, these are just exquisite.
I messed up the timing this year so we have no windowboxes or hanging baskets. But there's always next year ...
