The Container Garden Begins

The pansies are still going strong, and I am getting the watermelon planted with great anticipation. This year, we are going to plant giant watermelons that can weigh as much as a small child or maybe two or three of them, in addition to the smaller varieties that fit perfectly in the refrigerator for convenient snacking. I have got all the canna lilies planted out, their lush foliage adding a tropical flair to the flower beds. I also have new tomatoes and dill to plant out, which will provide fresh ingredients for our summer salads. It is getting time to clear out the winter crops, making way for the new growth that summer brings.
