We wish we could grow some veggies or herbs but don't have enough direct sunlight. Thanks for visiting!

Seriously, like you I...Flowers, colorful ones. :) <br /><br />Seriously, like you I can't keep anything alive, though I love window boxes in cities. For a long time we lived on base where we couldn't eat anything we grew in the ground because it was so heavily treated with pesticides. I tried for a couple of annuals and did have some of the tulips come back the next year - but I have a hard time 'judging' my own flowers, which is why I always wanted to try to grow something to eat.<br /><br />I'm rambling. Thank goodness for your mother in law - good luck keeping them going!

Petunias are nice, I know most everyone else likes them, but for some reason I don't really like geraniums.

You should take a look at Louise's post at A Strong Belief in Wicker this week. She's talking about French gardens and includes an article about an amazing garden on the roof of Hermes right there in Paris. It includes an apple tree, which I just can't get my head around, how an apple tree could grow on a rooftop. Thanks for playing along today. <a href="http://paulita-ponderings.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow"> Here’s my Dreaming of France meme</a>Paulita https://www.blogger.com/profile/14237320966048538408noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4079360024084742972.post-19734906531312567402014-05-24T00:40:27.916-07:002014-05-24T00:40:27.916-07:00Thank you, Margaret!

Good luck with the herbs. We wish we could do those, but don't get enough sunlight in our little "garden" space. The herbs will be great for your cooking!

And yes, it's so funny to pass the same street you've passed dozens of times and finally you look up and say "Wow! I had no idea there was practically a garden up there!" That's happened to me many times.

I hope you can delete it :)<br /><br />Anyway, I was just saying that I do that too - peek into open doorways. You never know what beautiful Parisian scene awaits you! I wrote a blog post about it (queued up for the end of June) because I just love it so much. That's also a great tip to "look up" when you're strolling the streets of Paris - there are so many beautiful balconies and flowers to enjoy!Vicki Lesagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04756527499531934545noreply@blogger.com
