I am going to have to wait at least another 3 weeks until my new patio is in place. I am running out of places to stash stuff until I can get stuff put back in place on the patio. But I will make the trip .. with a cart and try to see things the eyes of Lynn, Greg and the rest of you creative types at ATP. To me a broken pot is a broken pot not a possible planter

Oh I bet we will see some very creative thinking in what you find.
When do they start on your patio?

With Lynn - you may be surprised! You don't have to use broken pottery Marilyn

I am waiting for a confirming phone call, but probably next week.

I am so excited about the new patio. I can't wait to see it all completed.

Can not wait.

Exciting Marilyn!

I just came across this thread and even though I don't do much with succulents, I LOVE that birdcage planter!
And speaking of thinking outside the box, I remember there was a conversation, I think it was on Cubits, about using handbags for hanging planters. And another discussion about cutting the legs off old jeans, sewing up the leg holes and using that for a planter. Be cool to use suspenders to hang something like that. Of couse, that wouldn't last too long, but it would be fun!

Marilyn is your patio one yet? Sorry to ask if you posted already and I missed the unveiling.

All done, Thanks for asking. Not exactly as I would have liked but sooooo much better than old cracked and broken cement.

WOW Marilyn, that is beautiful. I love it. I love the way they made the breaks. It is a wide piece of concrete. They did good work. Thank you for showing me.

Looks quite civilized..

Oh, that is nice! I can't imagine what you'd have done to make it better. I like the way the bottom step wraps around the two upper steps. Neat look!

Yes and it does give me a place on the far side to put my semp containers in the shade

Oh Marilyn, I love it. I am so happy for you.
A patio and a terraced area. Love what you are doing with it.
I really like the rap around stairs.

I love the birdcage and other combinations.

That turned out really nice Marilyn!

Marilyn it looks great!!

Thanks @gg5 , nice to see you back and see you have been busy catching up on all the treads.
Think you might find some fun new apps to play with now that you are back.

Marilyn, I wouldn't know what to do with an app if it bit me in the app! But I thank you for thinking of me
At some point I may take more time to "tour" ATP again and see what's there!
