Spring Windowbox Time!
by

(IC: blogger)
At long last, Spring! Bird song heralds the day’s start. Crocus, snowdrops and tete a tete daffodils are blooming, seemingly overnight, after only a warm day or two. To celebrate the beginning of spring, I like to change out the winter windowboxes to early spring blooms. See my secrets to a great windowbox at http://ourfairfieldhomeandgarden.com/diy-project-spring-windowbox-time/
When finished blooming, these plants will go into our flowerbed!

Z on Apr 06, 2014@Barb Rosen I would love to have some, but most of our windows are too high off the ground. Even some on the main level are, because of our walkout basement. They'd be too hard to place, not to mention water and weed. I do have a good sized container garden, though on our porches and decks though. Well, not yet. It's still too chilly here.

Barb Rosen on Apr 06, 2014@Z ~ windowboxes are really just a kind of container garden. You can fancy up your pots and I'll do my boxes : )

Z on Apr 06, 2014Thank you @Barb Rosen we are to have Spring like weather this week. It's still a bit early to start my container garden as it gets pretty chilly at night. There's still a chance of a frost. I could plant some pansies though. Which can you tell me why they call someone that's a wimp a pansy? Though their leaves wilt in the cold, the flowers are very hardy in cold temps in my experience.
