Kitchen window boxes

This year's kitchen window is adorned with surfinia (trailing petunias). Last year we had marigolds, but they didn't look so good after a few weeks. I'm hoping for better results with these.

Surfinias from the market in Selles-sur-Cher.

We're expecting rain toward mid-day. Fortunately, I got the north forty and part of the west forty mowed yesterday. That and the strip outside our hedges along the road. My decision this morning is whether to race the rain to get more done, or just bag it until next time. Hmm...

  1. I love flower-filled window boxes. They completely transform a home. Hope these flowers are a good choice this year.

  2. Those flowers are pretty. And like Mitchell said, window boxes do add a nice touch to the way a house looks. I hope those petunias do better than the marigolds last year.

    Now… what did you end up choosing to do? my guess is that you went ahead and did the mowing :-)

  4. I think you mowed also. I have purple petunias this year in my porch hanger.
