My last post with junk garden before and after photos was very well received, so I put together more photos of planting time and early July.

Here is a bucket of three dragon wing begonias at planting time.

Photo of a galvanized bucket with spout planted with annuals
This fun galvanized bucket with a spout was planted with a Menard's combo of calibrachoa, verbena and a petunia, all in pink.  The calibrachoa died shortly after planting, leaving just the verbena and petuna.

The pink combo looks wonderful.  Especially the verbena.

These three coleus plants were pretty well established even at planting time.
