Hi there everyone!
I just want to wish you all a happy, and safe Memorial day weekend.
I was busy yesterday planting our garden baskets, and some pots. Thought I would share a glimpse.
Not much of a gardener here so I do the best I can.
If you missed my recent outdoor garden post you will get some tips and tricks I have learned along the way.
You will also notice I mostly do shrubs and vines.
This year I tried some different container gardening but we shall see how that works out for me.
You may love these pillows, they are from Walmart at only 9.99 each.
They are super fun looking!
I finally planted our outdoor window boxes.
Hopefully these African mums like it there. I added some white petunias as well. These take some harsh sun in front of the house.
Not sure what happened to one of my chalk painted pots.
This has never happened, but with that being said, I LOVE the look.
Tucked behind there is our diy log candle centerpiece.
Little folky rooster. I found this planter at Rite aid a few years ago. Of all places the drug store.
This roo got a quick makeover with rustoleum spray paint,
the color is called key lime.
These little Annie Sloan Antibes green terra cotta pots are holding up great.
This is where my free pallet wound up. Sad to see it leave the kitchen, but it seems pretty happy out here for now.
That’s a peek for now.
When everything starts thriving (hopefully) I will give you the full outdoor deck tour,
Have a wonderful weekend!

Very pretty, Debbie! I love how the color of the marigolds picks up the same color in the pillows. They do look like a fun pattern for your deck, too. I am patiently waiting for my plants to fill in a bit as well.
Love the pattern on the pillows..what nice colors.Nice job as usual.
It’s looking gorgeous! Thank you for sharing with us xx
Lots of pretty outdoor decor, Deb. I love the chippy flower pot, intentional or not. 🙂 And a key lime rooster- how fun!
Very Pretty Debbie. Love those pillows from Walmart. They are awesome. Happy Memorial Day.

Thank you Kris, same to you!
What a great space…I don’t think I ever realized you had a fireplace!
What a fun patio! I love all the color and textures!
Thank you Heidi. I love color:)
I love all of your wonderful eclectic pieces of garden pots and art. Have a great Memorial Day.
It all looks so colorful and pretty I love the chippy pots with the African mums
How fun, Debbie! Love that key lime spray paint…gotta find something to use that on! All of your pots look great; and everything looks so whimsical and cheery. You did a great job!
Looks wonderful Debbie! I love the rooster color, key lime. I’ve used it too and I love how it pops with so much color!!! Love your space and can’t wait to watch it grow! Have a wonderful holiday weekend!~~Angela
Hi Debbie Dear! oh, your gardening is looking good and I love all of the color you have going on. Those are some darling pillows and from Walmart! 🙂 Love that cute chick planted. Thanks for popping in to see me and yep, we’ve sold our house and are on to other things.
Have a wonderful Memorial Day and you’re always a sweetie,
Shelia 😉
Great find a Wally World, and all your flowers are beautiful. I love the new look of the chippy pot. It’s perfect.
Debbie your backyard is looking great! The weather here in Ontario has been good this week as well. I spent some time outside this week as well. I found some black petunias that are just lovely. If you want to check them out you can over @ http://thecreativemeandmymcg.blogspot.ca/2014/05/this-glorious-day.html
very very pretty, gotta luv Wally World!
Whatever happened to the blue chalk painted pot, I love it too! Your outdoor spaces look amazing!
Hello Debbi,
Another great job done by Debbie……Love the colors as I do my carport in green and purple……Can’t get it finished as we have a nest of Robins out there and we don’t want to disturb them, but love your work……..
DebbieDebbie, it’s all so cute! I love planting flowers in pots. I planted on Saturday – finally! We lost almost all our boxwood plants due to the harsh winter we had 🙁 I’m so sad. We pulled them out and plan to just put in some mulch for this year. I planted my urns and some other pots and stuck a vintage bike with a cute basket in the empty bed at the porch. I put a potted chocolate mint in the basket and it makes me happy. Hopefully we can replant boxwood next year. And I will be babying them even when they are several years old!
Debbie I am new to your site and Love it. I need all the help I can get as I have a brown thumb, yet I LOVE to do our patio and front porch…I have an area that does not get sun and can never figure out what to do. Any reply with suggestions would be wonderful 🙂 I love the spray painted rooster, we did that with a vintage table and chair set for the front porch {red} it was fun.
I have a friend who loves to garden and she told me these plants are great for shade: You can put a lot of stuff in shady areas…bleeding hearts…astible…calla…hellebore,corabell. She was not sure on the spelling. Good luck! I need it too:)
I like the lime green rooster. I may need to find an excuse to paint something that color.
Everything looks great, Debbie! I always enjoy seeing your gardening posts…they are so colorful.
Love all of your little roosters – I am having a yard sale soon and some of my roosters will be leaving the roost! Maybe they can run away to your garden!

What a sweet simple pot of marigolds. Marigolds just look like summer to me!
Fun to see the details, Debbie. I love the look of the turquoise pot with the terra cotta showing through.
Everything looks so pretty Debbie and I love your pillows!
Blessings,
Cindy
So pretty my friend…I love that chippy terracotta pot filled with Merigolds!!
I just LOVE the variety of planters that you have on your deck – especially the rooster ones. What a fun addition! Mine are all plastic planters (durable, but boring) and I just love your creativity. 🙂
I wanted to say I love everything you have done. I am in love with the pillows from Walmart but can’t seem to find them. Could you please tell me the name of the pillows? Thanks 🙂
They were in the outdoor garden section next to the cushions.
