Sewing is my main hobby obviously. I no longer do any gardening, except for a few flower pots on my deck and porch. I don't enjoy gardening or yard work, but I do enjoy having pretty flowers around in the summer. I just wish every year that the gardening fairies would come plant them and keep them alive for me.
Last Friday I stopped at 2 gardening centers in town and picked up a few plants. This big pot has sometimes held a tomato plant but this year it has a red canna and some sweet potato vines. And a solar light. The smaller pot has zinnias and something called Egyptian papyrus. I've never heard of that plant, but it looked interesting.
The rolling pot has petunias, a rain gauge, and a couple of solar lights. One solar light has a single LED butterfly that changes color all night long. And there is a "spray" of solar flowers in several colors.

I've never had a gerber daisy before either, but this one was in the May basket exchange at guild last week. The pot was a birthday gift last year from a gardening friend, along with the blue glass watering bulb. You fill that glass bulb with water and stick it into the soil so it slowly keeps the soil moist.
All of the previous pots are on our back deck, off the kitchen. But in the front I have this gorgeous pink geranium sitting next to the steps. And yes, that's a solar light hanging from the little pole. Can you tell that I have a "thing" for solar lights?
