Vista Red and Vista Purple Salvia

No, my UK photos still aren’t uploaded. ‘s are, though. Well, somewhat. Not enough to link to yet.<\/p>\n

Yesterday I took the time to (finally) plant flowers out front. I’d been wanting to wait until I returned from the UK so that I didn’t have to worry about finding someone to water them for me. I also planted the Chia Herb Garden thing<\/a> which I’d had growing in the kitchen. I don’t know how well they will continue to grow outside, but it can’t hurt.<\/p>\n

There are more photos of the flowers planted in 2006 here (photo gallery retired)<\/em> if you would like to see them.<\/p>\n

As a quick summary, I planted Vista Purple Salvia, Vista Red Salvia, Margarity Orange Portulaca, Liberty Lavender Snapdragons, and Regatta White Lobelia<\/a> in the various flower holding spaces around my front porch. I also doubled the number of salvia plants in the rectangular planters on the front porch<\/a> as opposed to previous years. Each box now has six plants, three each of red and purple. Hopefully they’ll grow well and provide some nicely mixed colors.<\/p>\n

Now, back to more work… I just finished balancing my checkbook, which it was definitely needing. One and a half weeks of mixed currency charges, scheduled debits, and a few other things need a good bit of sorting out to handle. Fortunately I was sitting on a conference call for the better part of the morning, providing plenty of time to handle this.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
