I am just so happy with my petunias-they are looking nice and full now. Soooooo hot and humid here-I will need to start watering more often now too.
This is the first time I grew my own petunias from seeds-will do it again going forward.
These petunias are in a huge copper pot that Larry rescued from the trash many years ago-sad they drilled holes in the bottom If the holes had not already been drilled I never would have used in the garden as a planter. Drilled holes really devalued this vintage piece.
The sun was very bright just now when I took the photos

The house showing up in the back-is actually not that close to us-this property sat on two lots and our home is in the middle Closer than I would like since we were living on many acres of land in the woods-but not right on top of us either like most of the homes here on the lake
Stay safe in the extreme heat
Beautiful petunias, Kathy! It’s me, Barbara. So long since we were in touch and I miss crafting along with you. We have moved, can’t find anything and I don’t have your email. Can you ship an email my way with your email address? Barbjmoore18@gmailcom
ReplyDeleteHi Barbara soooo good to hear from you! I tried sending you an email but your email is not working-will not go through. I even changed the capital B to a small b and would not send-so hope you come back and see this
Deleteupdate-I got your email figured out-it was in my list of email addresses so popped in-wrote you a note
DeleteBeautiful petunias, Kathy.

ReplyDeletethank you
DeleteYour petunias are gorgeous Kathy. Don't you just love them? Have a super rest of your weekend. hugs-Erika
ReplyDeleteGood morning I do-they are happy flowers
DeleteYou did a great job on growing your petunias from seed. Love the color. The only flower I did from seed was a sky blue morning glory. It use to re-seed itself until Bob changed up the garden it was in. I need to plant more of it next year. Janice
ReplyDeleteI always loved morning glories too but I would a trellis for them
DeleteThey are thriving! Beautiful.
ReplyDeletethank you yes these are doing so well in this extreme heat
DeleteOH! Lovely petunias Kathy!!! My petunias did not do well for me AT ALL this year... But i see you and CJ from the T party you both have beautiful petunias... sigh... I replanted with some Purple Queen and Purslane.. and they are both doing well.. Hot and humid here too.. .uuughh... Much love, Hugs! deb
ReplyDeleteI used to buy these gorgeous larger velvety type petunias much more expensive and I always lost them by end of July when it is so hot like it is now. Last time I lost them said no more-as they were quite expensive. the seeds for those are even very expensive-so I just bought regular petunia seeds started them in my bottle greenhouses and they are doing so good. I have another big pot of them on the other side of the steps
DeleteBravo! I've ever seen petunias from seed. Good gardening there!
ReplyDeleteMay
thank you I was surprised how easy these were to start from seeds the seeds are very tiny too
DeleteMy grandmother started all her plants from seed, including those tiny, tiny petunia seeds. They were her pride and joy, just as yours are for you. So pretty!!! We have been fortunate not to have to do much watering this year, but with the hot and dry weather pattern we are in, it looks like that is about over.
ReplyDeletegood afternoon Mary, we got a good soaking a couple days ago but we are in for two weeks of very very hot and humid-so I will be watering more
Deletethe petunias were so rewarding-never thought of them being so easy. all my plants in the garden now I grew from seeds except for the lavender plant and the begonia plant
I have a few petunia's but not from seed. They are not my favorite because of the dead heading.
ReplyDeleteIt has cooled off here thankfully but the heat is coming back.
Cathy
we are in extreme heat and humidity for two weeks-not good for us seniors
