I decided not to do flowers in my window boxes this year. Instead I did 2 kinds of coleus, 2 different potato vines, and ice moss. The coleus in the middle of the box is called "chocolate mint." Sounds like you can lick it, eh?
I love the colours together -- lime and dark burgundy/purple/black.

The Fall Garden
This red might be my favourite colour.....
Looks like a fuzzy little caterpillar.
I love the golden colour. It started out a dark purple in the spring....
More fountain grass. Different angle.
August 4 -- a beautiful morning, with the garden in full bloom. What a great way to start the day -- camera and flowers.....
and this one is my favourite. It's a morning glory. Something about the morning light on this one... U think it gives hope for the day.
Favourite Gardening tool....my Garden Claw . You just stick the claw part in the ground and twist. It breaks up the earth and makes pulling weeds sooo easy. I would not garden without one.
My new favourite tool (but don't tell DH, he thinks I'm still ticked that this was my Christmas gift....) is my Gator. I can fill the box with weeds, or mulch, or tools and drive all over the estate to get my gardening done. And ...it's sooo fun!
