I know I've just shown a lot of pictures that included the flowers on the front porch, but it's Fertilizer Friday, a day to really flaunt our flowers, so I'm joining in again and will show you a few 'up close and personal' shots of what's flowering right now.
My dianthus is looking lovely and really spreading, it seems to get a little bigger each year.
The petunias in the basket have grown and are looking beautiful.
A close up of the pots on the front porch with those pretty new tulip votive holders.
These roses are in my next door neighbors front window. . . lucky me gets to enjoy their beauty too :-)
Trying to add a splash of color out on the back porch I planted some flowers in the pots this week.
Notice the basil in the pot above. I have some in my herb garden but it's not looking too good yet. I couldn't resist this lovely thing, I just love the smell of basil and herbs go great in flower pots for that added scent.
I added a little pot of petunias to the column.
Our blackberry bush is flowering!
The flowers are so pretty and delicate.
And this is our blueberry bush!

everything is doing so well Denise, and yes, you are lucky to get the benefit of your neighbours roses, they're gorgeous :O)
have a lovely weekend xx
Lovely Denise. I love all the color you have in your yard. What type of fertilizer do you use on your plants and how often do you use it?
Sorry for all the questions but I would really get my potted plants to really burst with color this year. My inpatients always do very well but the others always seem to be lagging behind.
Thanks for sharing!
Love ya,
Cindy
All your flowers are beautiful. I especially love that wall hanger that holds the clay looking pot. That would look really good in my yard!
We are just beginning to plant for this year after losing so much (bushes) in our winter freezes. I have flowers sitting patiently in a flat calling my name and begging for a home.
To Cindy... you'll laugh when I say this but I don't even fertilize the flowers out front!!! I just planted them and water them each day.
Marla: I got that planter that holds the clay pot at a yard sale, I love it :-)
Denise, thanks for stopping by my blog. I love to look at what everyone is doing and your flowers are so pretty, way ahead of anything that we have here. Is that raised beds in your backyard? I have an acre for my garden and want so bad to break it up into some raised beds...........hubby says no, it's easier to till without them but I think just a little area would be fun. Have a great day.

Denise, I never would have thought to add basil to a flower pot! That's a great idea. You can never have too much basil! And the plant is really adds pretty greenery.
Ummm. . . I can just imagine the smell, even as I sit here at the keyboard!
Hi Denise,
I love the flowers-so pretty!!
Just wanted to wish you a wonderful weekend!
Blessings and husg.
Everything is so pretty. I hope you have a wonderful weekend. Carla
Lucky you, "free" roses...no caring for them, just enjoying them!!! You've got some mighty fine looking blooms at your home!!!
I love your pots! What a great job you have done on them. I noticed your raised beds too in one of the photo's - they look good too! Thanks for sharing - paula in Idaho
Hi Denise, like the idea of planting basil and other herbs with your flowers! Hadn't thought of that. Thanks for visiting me and joining me on the journey. Enjoyed your blog!
Girlfriend has a green thumb! Looks good!
Your flowers are beautiful! And it looks like you are going to have a boutiful blueberry harvest!
Very Pretty and so are your babies.
Your flowers are very pretty. I know y'all have had some rain around Austin lately...that's a great thing considering the drought last summer. Hopefully it will lead to a beautiful lawn and garden for you.
awesome post! I love the photos...that rose bush is gorgeous..you are right...it's lucky that you can enjoy it too...I wish dianthus was not just an annual for me...they are certainly one of my favorites to plant.
thanks for linking in this week. I am sorry it took so long to get over here and see...I just can't seem to get to the end of the busy around here these days! I do hope you will link in again...I have enjoyed my visit!
