I really like the yellow basket with the sea scape. That is very clever.

Great containers everyone! We use a fair number of ceramic containers. Most are emptied and stored under our outdoor flats bench, some in the garage. The really large ones I just move far enough to be clear of snow removal and tip them on their sides for the winter, they don't seem to be affected by the cold as long as they aren't full of wet potting mix. One of our favorite colors is cobalt blue, I'd like to get 2 of the taller ones yet.

Those containers Holly planted for the brick driveway. It's pretty shady there under the wisteria.
and thanks for the compliment on the flats bench, it was built a number of years ago from recycled fencing.

Jo Ann Primrose is my one of my new favorite plants this year Big Grin They are adorable in the blue basket.

Angely, HOORAY for you. I found a seventy dollar planter at a local garden center and it was thirtyfive dollars. I had to roll it out of the car in order to get it to the garden.
Its very tall but looks bangers where it is.
Good luck with your planter,show pix when its done.

I will I love dogwoods so i'm leaning in that direction.

I just love a good deal it usually requires a little more work but way worth it. Any pic's of your planter?
