With the drought last year only 1 or 2 plants of the old fashioned petunias came up.However with this winters rain, they seemed to sprout all over.I transplanted them on the edge of one of my garden beds and a couple other places.Oh,the wonderful aroma of these in the afternoon.  Some tomato plants behind them.    Thanks for looking,hope you enjoy the pics. snuffy |

Why did you plant them around veggies? Do they keep critters out?

I know the answer to that one - to keep them close so you can enjoy looking at them and savoring the aroma! I have a open field nearby that is host to fragrant purple sweet peas which come up after the spring rains every year. I'll pick some now and then, bring them home, put them n a vase and enjoy! Jean

That's a pleasant picture. I never noticed that petunias had a fragrance. I'll have to go sniff the ones in my flower bed.

What you Texans have that I really miss is the honeysuckle. I had them beside the house and I could smell them through out the whole yard.

Snuffy, that is so pretty! Aroma is a great extra, too.
Jim, here in California, we have honeysuckle covering our pergolas out back. I agree the scent is wonderful.
