Bob has lived here for 4ish years. He has a long standing argument with the homeowners association about the window boxes. Per the agreement, they are supposed to maintain the front and back of the house/all landscaping. Bob thinks that includes the window boxes. The HOA does not. Soooo.
I HATED the way they looked. So I did something about it. I went to Lowes, found a nice worker lady, and begged her to tell me what to plant that a) the sun wouldn't fry and b) I wouldn't kill within a weeks time.
So here we go. Before and after. I planted these on Sunday afternoon, went to Chicago Monday, came home yesterday. They were already dead. I'm not posting dead pictures, because I'm still hopeful I can revive them. Wish us luck. And by us, I mean me. And the plants.
