I read this article in a in a
gardening magazine the other day it was talking about how
geraniums are a dated flower and I just could not disagree more And
this kind of brings me to this principle of garden’s window boxes like
we’re talking about today What flowers do you like
What flowers make you happy I don’t really love when people say
“Oh it needs to be like this or maximum these colors or only these flowers.”
I think it totally depends on what you want as a gardener There’s not like a right or wrong
formula Just use what you like
love geraniums And that’s it we’re gonna keep the
window boxes super simple this year just geraniums and sweet potatoes And
I think they’re gonna be beautiful

Roses!!! I remember not liking them, thinking that they were to GrannyLike! I flipped that pancake, huh! I ordered seems like a million of them this year Roses… 💃 But my newest fettish are dahlias! They grow so well in our SE Oklahoma hot&humid!!!
I agree with your disagreement 😂!
Pansy/violas, zinnias, peony, tulips…. really any flower is beautiful!!
Yes! Geraniums are lovely and ckassic!
And…what flowers will those dang slugs leave me?
Nothing like a big pot of geraniums!
Love ❤️ and they always make me think of my grandma who was a master gardener.
Lilacs are so underrated. I love them.
Flowers can never be outdated for me, they’re all so lovely.
Oooh ! I love geraniums. I can’t walk past them without rubbing my fingers on their leaves and smelling their distinctive scent. It takes me back to childhood when we has a collection of them.
The only red flower I like is a geranium. 😂 I’m not a fan of Dalias. I just can’t get into that excitement for them.
