As I am preparing for the 2022 Junk Garden Tour, I thought I would share some container garden closeups before (at planting time) and after (late July).

Like this chippy red wheelbarrow at planting time with a Heliotrope and a Red Calliope Geranium.  Read on for more photos.

The chippy wheelbarrow plants are full and lush in late July.

Here is my stepladder (in late May) of container gardens with White Euphorbia in the top container, double red Calibrachoa, and Red Intensia Annual Phlox in bucket at the bottom of ladder.

Here the bin on top of the sawhorse is planted with impatiens and the bucket underneath it has a bright pink ivy geranium (a hanging basket from Menards) in  it.  Three varieties of coleus are to the right.

The plants have definitely filled out in July.

This is a diplandenia plant It is in the Mandevilla family.  I purchased it in May at Walmart in a basket. It was in full bloom at the time but the cool weather that followed left this tropical plant at a standstill.

Finally in late July, the dipladenia is loaded with blossoms and buds too.

The alyssum, verbena and pink geranium have filled in the sink area almost completely.
