Random 5 Friday
First, let me say that these are NOT photos of my garden. These are photos I took while wandering around the garden center yesterday, dreaming of a garden.
1. We have critters around our property that keep me from having the garden of my dreams. These critters include my 16 free-ranging chickens who would definitely do a lot of damage.
2. We are having a drought year and I get concerned about watering plants, so we didn't put in any new bare root fruit trees this year. We don't have Summer rain in our area. Our rainy season is in the Winter.
3. I had a gas grill and finally threw it out after many years of good use. We bought a small charcoal grill a few years ago and now I want a gas grill again. So I keep looking, but the prices are keeping me from buying. I want a Weber because I know they will last. This photo is obviously not a grill, but a beautiful planter on a stand. Love it.
4. Bouganvillea is deer resistant. This photo does not do justice to the beauty of this one, called Thai Imperial Delight. Google it. It's gorgeous. Then I would need a trellis.
5. My tomato plants are getting really tall and look healthy. I know absolutely nothing about what to expect with them. They have been flowering but so far no fruit. I guess I'll keep waiting. Should I be fertilizing regularly? This is not a tomato plant, obviously, but I love this little bird bath. And more flowers. And another Buddha. Oh dear, is this random enough?
Enjoy your holiday weekend. You know where to find me....at the garden center!!!!

Love the planter and bird bath, we have a Weber grill that is charcoal with gas ignite and absolutely love it!
My tomatoes have flowers as well..Flowers before the fruit..They sell tomato plant food so I just feed them diluted flower food when I water my plants..I only planted one plant..It seems everybody is giving away tomatoes at the same time..Have a great weekend.
I am visiting from R5F.
Looks like you had a fun trip to the garden center. Lots of pretty blooms.
I have 4 tractor rims as my container garden. I use old sheep jug panels to protect my garden from the naughty cow dog that likes to dig.
Hope you get lots of delicious tomatoes and I would never want to be without my grill!

I do all of my plants in pots because of the same reason you stated. Now if I could only keep the cats from laying in them... :)
I am going through the grill thing too. We have had gas grills, then had a huge gourmet like grill with all the bells and whistles. Too much for two people so my daughter/SIL put it to good use. Then we went to a very small camping gas grill. Now . . . back to a very nice Weber charcoal grill. There will be some Baby Back Ribs smokin' away on it on Monday!
Happy weekend!
Some nice photos there.
