Let the gardening season begin!
My Market Friday had been fun and I went to the nearby garden center which is just about 4 kilometers from home. Here, I got newbies to plant since Spring is now here and it´s getting warmer everyday, at least I hope so. I am most busy these days since I started planting the newbies on the top terrace. As usual, they are planted in containers.
I intended to make a spanish wall again as in every year. Last time, I had geraniums in various shades of pink and this season, I got them all red. And I was lucky to get them at 50% off from regular price.
I had to finish planting them today even if the pots looks so ugly at the moment. They can´t wait to be on the soil... so the painting of the pots had been postponed to next week. I want them in apple green color. Let´s see what will come out of them. The lamp however is to be placed somewhere and the cable is to be hidden.
There are so many flowering plants and trees at the center.. but since I only have a small backyard, my plants are limited to flowers in containers. We have a pine heck all over to have a bit of privacy and we also have an apple tree, a tamarisk tree and willow crooked-like tree.
The warehouse shop is not only a garden center but also a hardware. It is so amazing how people love gardening and I can see it in such a way that the shopping carts of customers are full of plants and soil pack in liters .
Me, I got newbies such as cherry tomatoes and another round variety, two chili peppers, a dozen of lettuces and some onion bulbs I still have to set on soil. My strawberries from last year have migrated to the big pot and multiplied to more than 2 dozens.
I am sure with lots of care, I will achieve to have my spanish wall and will become lovely in due time. And it will be just like any wall in Spain full of lovely red flowers or just like those you to remind you of what you saw when you were on holiday in the Iberian Peninsula.

This was simply spectacular! I loved going through the garden with you because that is one of my most favorite places to be! We have many stores very much like that, with the hardware together with the garden shop. In my opinion oh, there just can't be enough of them. I also bought geraniums last week too and planted many of them in the pots. I think they grow best in them. The other flowers got planted in the garden but anxiously awaiting to see your wall of flowers because there was nothing more beautiful than the Spanish wall of flowers!
You said that you were going to paint the pots a green color? I think that that would be very pretty! I am so happy for you to have joined Market Friday and I look forward to seeing you again. I want to thank you for the time spent collecting photos and ideas and putting them together in a post. I know the time and effort it takes and so I am with much appreciation.
as always I want to wish you a wonderful night!
#MarketFriday loves you!

Thank you for the tip Denise dear! I am so sorry for my late response to these comments. I have health issues and I forgot to reply to your comments.
For the pots, indeed I have painted them already in green and I have posted it here https://steemit.com/esteem/@mers/my-mediterranean-style-hanging-garden. I think the wall looks better now that the pots are uniform in color. I am anxious to see your geraniums too... God bless us gardeners, we make our surroundings more beautiful!
I already posted my latest Friday Market post and I sure am glad I´ve joined your Firday Market Movement. Cheers and Happy Weekend!
