2007 was a good flower year for me. Every year we would have a pig roast at the end of summer, therefore I would work really hard at making my flowers look nice. I watered morning and night. Picked off dead blooms. Weeded. I spent a lot of time outside my basement door and under my deck, trying to make the cement foundation less ugly!
Miracle gro bloom booster was my friend! It really works.☺
Dry weather was my friend too-the rain ruins my blooms and if it's dry, I can control the amount of water my flowers receive.
My door is black now-I like it better black.The last two years we have not had a pig roast and my flowers have been a disgrace. I just didn't spend any much time taking care of them.
This year though we are throwing a graduation party for my daughter, so I will have to work hard to try to make things look nice. The whole thing makes me nervous just to think about it.

I always thought your flowers looked wonderful - never even noticed the foundation. I'm sure it will look great for the party. Don't sweat it! Believe me, I did too, and it's just not worth it.
