We finally got some plants for the planters out front. It took a bit of consultation to select them. We sought input from Molbak’s. Our next door neighbor posted a query on Facebook. I emailed my sophomore roommate, who’s a horticulture professor in Virginia. Then we visited Sky Nursery and met Heather, one of the staff members there. She pointed us to some soft shield ferns, ajugas, and sedums. While we were there, I also picked up two padron pepper plants and Vietnamese coriander (also known as rau ram) for the upper deck. We also loaded up on soil and compost.
Below are the results. Julian actually did most of the planting, even though he claims all he can grow is mold. We wound up with an extra fern plant, which I planted in the ground at the entry to the entryway. Sure beats the plastic ferns that were in the planters when we moved into the condo.
Julian’s handiwork.
