It's a rainy day, which really isn't fair. I had a long week and was hoping for a few nice hours in the garden this morning. Hopefully tomorrow will be better -- it will be my first official bloom day and I want to get some nice shots of the garden.
Since it's too muddy to tromp about in the yard today, I decided to focus on the deck. It's part of the garden, after all, and ours has quite a bit going on.
And right here is where I realize I don't have much to say about the deck....the plan is pretty self-explanatory.

| Top row: Lime tree and strawberry pot, herbs and tomatoes, annuals in a deck planter Middle row: hanging basket, peas and carrots from seed, radishes from seed Bottom row: palm trees, kcups with seedlings, more annuals in another deck planter |
I'm not sure how all of this stuff is going to hold up over the summer. In the past, I haven't had much luck with containers (mainly because I forgot to water them and the plants ended up dying). However, this deck is right outside our family room and we use it more than we ever used our old patio.
I guess I'll see how this year goes. If tomatoes get enough sun to grow well on our deck and if we keep up with watering, I'll see if hubby can somehow route a hose up there. If the annuals in the deck planters do well, I'll get a couple more deck planters next year and try growing some herbs in them.
What do you have growing on your deck/patio? Do your plants die in the middle of summer like mine usually do?
