Garden Pic Wednesday: Pretty In Red

Two pictures for today: one is my container garden and the other is our progress on the raised garden beds:

Pretty In Red:
I added a red Million Bells, a Red Saliva and a curly parsley to shade my stone hippo in this container. Red flowers attract Hummingbirds, so I always like to have Red Salvia in all my containers! 

There are two other containers, each with a curly parsley. One has a pink Million Bells and a Red Salvia; the other has a curly parsley, a Red Saliva, a Lemon Thyme that's a permanent resident I think plus a Petunia that wintered over.

Raised Garden Bed Progress:
They're finally ready to be filled with soil! We plan on working on filling one first and hope to buy bags of garden soil this weekend!
You can see the block work between the beds we worked on last weekend and you can see the gray landscape fabric layered in the boxes. There's actually 3 layers there: two layers of landscape fabric and between them a fine quarter-in steel mesh called "hard cloth" to keep roots out.
