{Our Fiberglass Window Boxes & Double Cascade Pink Petunias}

In February 1996 we got our Fiberglass Window Boxes from Flower Framers of Cincinnati ←(click it) in Cincinatti, OH. We got the 8 Ft length for our retainer wall alongside the driveway. The kitchen bay window had 5 Ft and 3 Ft boxes. Our bay window area and veranda we completed in 1997. On April 15 of last year I did a post about our Fiberglass Window Boxes, ←just click on the hyperlink to go there. As we started off with some white petunias and white pansies, we went into verbenas. Till we lost those, due to drought while we were traveling... On the retainer wall, alongside the driveway we still have those verbenas. But last year we both fell in love with the Double Cascade Pink Petunias from Walmart! Look at my Halloween blog ←(click it) where they still were blooming proudly. Guess what? Pieter did take some cuttings and we had them all winter in our green house and TA-DA...

Home grown Double Cascade Pink Petunias and they do so well in our heat during summer! 

This is in 1997 when our veranda windows got their 7 Ft Fiberglass White Window Boxes. 

The quality of those boxes is excellent; we have them now for 14 and 15 years. They are not cheap, but per season they are, over time! 

These are the 3 largest 8 Ft long Fiberglass Window Boxes on the driveway and till today we still have pink verbenas in them. If we loose some through drought, the greenhouse provides a great environment for growing new ones from cuttings. After all, we both are the son and daughter of a market gardener...

 These are the 7 Ft, 5 Ft and 3 Ft length White Fiberglass Window Boxes.

These are the double cascade pink petunias from last year from which we got the cuttings.

Last year...

Healthy in October and good for yielding cuttings!

This was on May 10, at 9:30 AM in the morning and what do you think of our own crop?
The bright sunlight makes the photo kind of harsh...

Double Cascade Pink Petunia in all its glory!
