My Little Helper


Meet my next door neighbors daughter, Payton. This Spring she has been my little helper in my garden. Last night we decided to do some planting.

Every year I love to add Caladiums on my front and back porch. I brought home some beautiful potted ones from the garden center. I love this zinc olive basket and wanted the pot to sit higher. I lined it with burlap so the potting mix wouldn't fall through the little cracks when I watered. Then I put a black planters pot I had upside down. That way I can place my Caladium right on top of it. Then added potting mix around the black pot. I love the combination of Caladiums and Diamond Frost together.
 I had Payton add some Osmocote Fertilizer under the Diamond Frost.
Payton gently placed the flower in the pot.
Having fun taking pictures! : )

  1. Adorable... both Payton and the caladium presentation. I love it. Makes me want to go get caladiums at my garden center but I don't think they carry them out here!
