FlOwEr PoWeR!

Well it's that time again.....flower planting time!!!! I look forward to starting my seeds all year long.( Even if this is only my second year) This year I was excited to try a bunch of new flowers. Lots of these flowers I had never heard of but hey they were pretty so why not!
I started saving toilet paper rolls last June to get ready for this flower season. Well I still ran out. I guess two people just don't go through enough T.P.

In my defense I started the season out with a reasonable amount of plants.
These are goodly spaced

 But.....I just kept finding room on the table.
Little squishier


My petunia's after about a month ( these sucker's are slooooow)
Squished...had to add another little table

Why not use the window ledge as a table to.
State fair Zinnia 13 days after being planted ( WAY faster then Petunia seeds)
My brother in law thinks I am totally white trash for using my trash to plant flowers in ( It was the perfect size to fit here)
FLOWERS!!! Finally my Petunias grew

So squishy!

I couldn't get back far enough to get all the tables in the same picture. 

So I do agree I went alot a little overboard. In the end I had 326 containers of flowers. All I can say is my husband is an extremely patient man. He even helped me haul all of these in every night from outside so they wouldn't freeze. (like I said....patient!)
I started the planting process last Saturday (YAY!!! I am ready!!) and so far all are surviving! It will take me a while get them all planted but I am excited to see them grow!

If I show up unexpectedly at some of you reading this houses with flowers....its because I ran out of dirt.....
