A Great Day to Get Dirty
Wax Begonias are the favorite for the three-tier planter. Dennis and I first saw planters such as this when we drove through Pella, Iowa, in times gone past. It wasn’t long after that, we noticed Johnny Hill’s Standard Gas station site in Hector, Minnesota, was selling them. At the time we put in the patio we had the stand cemented in place. Today was a very windy and cool day, but there have been years when I would do battle with gnats to get the plants in place. If the squirrels don’t get too curious, the pots should begin filling in nicely and continue to bloom right through and beyond the first frost of the fall of 2015.
