My Summer Deck "Pot" Garden

I do love flowers and each Spring I get the "fever" to fill all my empty pots on the deck with new annuals. I can't do much in the yard because I have a "digger" dog who will plow up anything I try to plant in the flower beds so I have to stick to the pots I keep up high enough he can't bother them. This is this years efforts.
 
Deep Pink Wave Petunias
 
Lavender Foxglove

                                       Snoop has "pruned" the lower branches but the ones
                                           he can't reach on the Rose Of Sharon are nice.
 
                                                                Golden Marigolds
 
              I grow the gladiolas in the front yard where
  Snoop can't get to them.
