Petunia Baskets


This year, I have about 30 hanging flower baskets in my yard. As the summer moves on, the baskets just about double in size and fill the corners of the deck, the garden fence, and the shady areas under the trees and arbors. They provide beautiful color from May through September. These flowers are one of my favorite things about the season.

I bought a lovely red, white and blue petunia basket at Flower World in Maltby about a month ago, and it seems to love its location near the shade garden, hanging up against the beautiful fence my neighbor Roger built several years ago.

The pink and purple petunia baskets that adorn my garden fence make a nice contrast to these bold colors, and you can smell the fragrance of these flowers all over the yard. One just needs to slow down for a moment, enjoy the colors and savor The Slow Life.
