A Gardeners Forum Forums Gardening Reference Gardening in 2006 My DH made me some window boxes..... want to see???

We painted the ones on the fron Black to match the shutters, but left the ones on the back natural.

I'm so happy with them!!

they look really good, i fill mine to the point that there is no more room for anything and fertilize regulary, i love color, so with mine, the more color the better!!
Good luck with them and they sure do look nice

Lucky you. Nice man to do all that for your pleasure. I love the purple red combo, what are the purples.. I think red is geranium?

Cascade petunias would go good on that DO you water them from the inside of the house or the outside/

Good job.

The blue is Lobelia, the Red is Dahlia, and the pink on the back is double impatience. They should all fill out pretty quick.

I water them all from the outside at the same time that I water all of my other "things".

I'm very pleased with them!! Can't wait for them to fill out nicely.... maybe next year I'll start some things by seed so that I can start it out filled without breaking the bank kwim.

Thanks for the comments!

Oh and I also have a couple of springs of vinca planted in there too.

Everything looks so nice, nice place you have there.

They are gorgeous! You did a great job planting them too.
