Sigh. Snow tonight and/or tomorrow. This likely spells the end for most of the annuals in my garden (not to mention the tomatoes!) Well, we had an amazing summer for 3 solid months and that is something to be thankful for in Calgary!
Actually, I don't plant many annuals IN the garden, but rather in pots in key places where I want to add a focal point or some season-long colour. You'll notice many of my pots and containers are colourful themselves. I painted a few this spring and I'm so happy with the results that I may paint more next year!
Are you a colour-phile like me? Would you consider painting anything in your garden?
Did you paint the face pot?! I love it! I always admire people that grow lovely planters. I definitely need to work on my skills in this area. Beautiful arrangement of photos that you will be able to look back at when snow is blowing across your garden.

Thank you! And yes, I did paint the face pot, thanks for noticing! I've always wanted a face pot to grow "hair" in, so this year I took it upon myself to make one.
Cheers,
Janice

Yes, I like to color pots too but I prefer to paint everything in blue and green only. Your garden is already colorful, and those wonderful pots that you painted made it even lovelier.

Thanks Katy! Blue and green make a lovely combination too!
Cheers,
