Container planting

It is finally time to plant your containers for summer show! Well, all except some of the more tender annuals, such as sweet potato vine (Ipomea), impatiens, and begonias. These will stay in my garage for another week.

I over-wintered non-stop begonias (in vermiculite in my storage area). In March I planted them in pots and brought most of these inside. They will stay inside for another couple weeks.

I've brought all the over-wintered plants outside, except for the angel's trumpet. I repotted several plants, such as pony-tail fern and abutilon. They just seemed to be calling out for fresh potting soil.
