I’m on blue and red kick in the front garden! This is the third year in a row that I have used red and blue in my front window box and the narrow garden patches along my front walk way.

Unbelievably, the forget-me-nots volunteered in my second story window box. For three or four years now I’ve just had to remove the extra volunteers and leave enough to fill in around the new plantings. Red ranunculus and blue pansies are excellent spring flowers along with these airy forget-me-nots.

Eventually I’m planning on replacing the ranunculus and forget-me-nots with red geraniums and sky blue lobelia. The pansies should last into mid summer if the weather stays cool enough!
