Flower babies :)

This year, for the first time in a while, I am gardening. Sort of. Since we live in an apartment, it's not like I'm landscaping a yard or planting a garden plot! I'm using planters.It all began with a few Gerber daisies & Lobelia. 

One thing led to another, one planter somehow became two, and that was the first idea. 

Next, I contemplated how nice it would be to have some basil. And if basil, then there must also be tomatoes, and then I would have almost everything to make that yummy Tomato/basil/mozzarella salad (which is amazing and MUST be made every summer myriad times), and that was the second idea.

On another trip to the store, I was pondering the fact that I had leftover rock (to put in the bottom of the planters to help provide adequate drainage) and leftover potting soil. I browsed over to the clearanced plants and spotted a couple beautiful yellow-y/lilac violas. I bought them and another planter; and that was the third idea.

Last night after work. I had noticed these super cute clay pots with a colored glaze around the middle. I'd had a vague thought about how nice it would be to have some indoor plants, and somehow.. I came home with.. some.

 "Some" in this case means "three":

I love my daisies :) 

And my indoor jungle :)

Stay tuned: There may be a fifth idea that = more plants.
