I'm sure you are very busy in your beautiful garden - it's just that I would love to see new pictures and I bet I'm not the only one.

Nicotiana `Domino' and Lobelia
These 'Domino'are grown from the seeds of salmon pink flowers selected from among 'Domino Mixed'which bloomed last year.
This is Gaillardia pulchella'Red Plume'
The last two are displayed this way.
Tomtom, Those are just Breath Taking! You must have the 'greenest thumb' in town...
Thank's for sharing :-)

Beautiful, as usual! Thanks for taking the time to post them...
You've given me a terrific combo idea - nicotiana and lobelia. I've got the plants waiting for me to plant them out. Thanks!!

Thank you my friend for posting these beautiful pictures. They have lifted my spirit on a cold cloudy day.
tomtom - simply beautiful. thanks
your pictures are beautiful.
better than I've ever seen
in gardening catalogs....
Lovely pictures, tomtom. I just planted a pot with a nicotiana in the center and 3 lobelia around it. Got them all at the Iowa Roundup! So happy to see yours looking so pretty - hopefully mine will grow quickly but I'm sure they won't look as good as yours!
Thank you so much ,everyone,for your engouraging words.
Spring has gone all too soon !
Dixiechick,I do wish I had that greenthumb. Look at my thumbs and you'll find them sun-burnt and brown :)

kooger, how is your container coming along？
Looking eagerly forward to seeing your pic(s )
Stunning as always TomTom!!!
Amazingly beautiful as usual Tomtom. You put plants together with a designer's eye. That last picture is stunning they way the plants help curve the walkway.
tomtom - you're an inspiration to us all!!!
tomtom - absolutrely stunning
TomTom, thanks for letting me know. It's always good to have some feedback.
Your garden is really beautiful; a pleasure for the eye and the spirit. Please keep posting pictures.
I'm going outside to plant some handing baskets!!!!!!!!
Thank you everyone,for kind words.
It too hot and muggy to garden in Japan now.

Diva , Aren't you going to raise chickens with Julie ？:-)
Looking very much forward to seeing your basckets.
I'll get a new picture of the lobelia and nicotiana tomorrow - had to reprogram the computer and I don't know what disc all the stuff that was on it is. I sure hope they saved everything! The nicotiana still isn't blooming - it turned out to be a tall one, I think a shorter one would have worked better in this pot -actually the top of a cream separater -do you know what that is?
Never say "die" tomtom! I shall never surrender! The chicken thing was just a momentary lapse...but it'll be a while before I post pics!
here it is...
Tomtom...
"Diva , Aren't you going to raise chickens with Julie ？:-)"
I decided chicken poo was a little "hot" for adding to my flowers, so I'm with Diva...I'm potting up some of my new starts in the hope that come autumn they'll be able to hold their own until spring.

Thank you, kooger,for the photo. How robust!
The Nicotiana apparently isn't of a small type.It might bring in some unexpedcted effect, though.
I love your pot too. Myself have its look-alike.

So,Julie and Diva,
let's start making containers for autumn anyway.
This is a mini- container of Celosia for autumn.
Hey Tomtom...GOOD idea! :-D
I like your little trough...I'm hoping to get a couple made from hypertufa before the summer is over. Then they'll be ready for next year's projects.
