I especially like the pansies with the bunny sitting nearby. I hear you about the heavy clay pots-- I also have a couple of the faux/styrofoam large pots, which works for me since it means I don't have to throw my back out moving them around.Melissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05885834933978634106noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6448019025261796302.post-40387043204223332482015-05-10T10:20:10.330-05:002015-05-10T10:20:10.330-05:00Hi Debra!

I understand completely! I'm sure you're really enjoying your deck and your plants look beautiful! I have so many empty flower beds to fill and keep telling myself, I can't do it all at once. Thanks for popping in to see me and Happy Mother's Day!<br />Be a sweetie,<br />Shelia ;)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6448019025261796302.post-41642642684628325352015-05-09T14:38:29.663-05:002015-05-09T14:38:29.663-05:00Debra - Your deck and yard are looking great!

I don't use them on my front porch because of that. They nest inside, and when I try to water the ferns, they fly out in my face. :(.. I love ferns, and may give them another try anyway, and just fight with the birds. Love the gate you have on the deck.
