I think it's coming along just fine.
 I still have pot and a bag of dirt on my porch, none open.

It's looks really pretty Gayle. Even though my in-laws were in the greenhouse business, I still have no idea about plants and what is good or not good for specific areas..lol. The plants you picked are very pretty.

I had to do mega internet research to figure out what might grow in that shady spot - I had no clue. It has dappled light till about noon, then it is in complete shade. I bet I have looked and read on the internet for several hours over the past month, trying to decide what to get.
I thought I wanted columbine, but then when I went to the nursery (a local nursery that has NEVER steered me wrong), they recommended ruellia and holly fern. I sure hope they live! If not, oh well, I'll just get some rocks and make a rock garden! LOL! I'm going to get a pretty pot and set it on the flat rock you see in the picture. I'll probably plant annuals in the pot - maybe petunias, the nursery said they would bloom in shade - not in winter, of course. LOL!

Looks so pretty Gayle. A pretty pot with some colorful flowers will just make it look even prettier.

Love the corner Gayle, and something with just a little color will make it really stand out.

I plan to use a colorful pot like this one http://www.directfrommexico.com/ae2037.html I saw one like this about 18 inches tall at Lowes and I think I'll get it. That way, if there is too much shade to get the flowers to bloom, I'll still have some color! And I'll have color in winter too!

I have a big pot that looks a lot like that on my front porch. Your little corner of the world looks so neat and pretty! Could you come do mine, lol?
