Meanwhile, the petunias are going nicely in my Manhattan Containers.
Speaking of okra -- did I mention that my Mississippi cousin suggested that I plant okra in my windowboxes once, after I complained about how ungodly high the okra is around here when it finally is available? I wonder what my building would make of me planting food in my windowboxes . . . .
ETA: Please ignore the frayed condition of the windowsill. As you can probably guess, I tend to leave the windows open (to varying extents), no matter the weather.
Edited again: I just discovered that there is a whole separate thread devoted to flower gardens. Sorry!
