Begonia

              

   My begonia's finally decided to bloom and look lovely.  I couldn't get the picture to sharpen up but you can see the lovely color they are.

                

    I have poppies planted in this old tractor tire.  This looks terrible until they bloom and then are just beautiful.  You can see the birds have been using the tire for target practice.

              

    Just for the record, my planters in the back that I had the irish spring to keep the deer off of.  They are now pretty empty as the deer weren't bothered in the slightest.  They didn't eat one of the plants, maybe they don't like the taste so maybe I will just plant vine types plants in those.
