Very nice! I like taking progress pictures of containers.

Thanks Sue. I'm going to be adding more plants this week. The tinky Cebanese is still semi dormant so I won't add anything else to that area. It helps if I had nice 4" pots of plants to start with, this time it is just bits and pieces. Next month will be fun when the Mountain Crest Gardens order come in. : )

Nice bowl Lynn! I like the half buried pot in it.

When the Cebanese get going they fill it completely. I love those little guys. : )
Good morning Chris.

I'll be adding my picture very soon. I'm working on a container planting!

Container pictures are great.
Clint, I'm looking for some of those great ideas of mixing semps and echinacea. Can't wait to see the colors.

Chris, you have some wonderful container pictures in this thread. I was wondering if you would enter them in the Container Database. That way we won't loose them in these long threads. If you have time here is the link. I love being able to go to one place and look at them and maybe get some ideas of what I can do with some of my containers. I have and idea from one of Sues pictures above (one with the glass), only I'm going to do mine in a large farm disc. : )
Can't wait. I will enter a picture in the database when I get it finished. : )

I will send a Cmail to Sue.
Janet if you see this, would you mind putting your container pictures in the database?

Hi Lynn, be happy to post them in the database. It will be nice to have one area to look at them all.

That's what I thought. I was finding it hard to find ones I wanted to look at again so thought this would be a wonderful way for everyone to see them.

These were 4 yr old's favorite Crocs.....I planted them yesterday with a few things I already had and hung them on the fence. Just hoping the squirrels don't rearrange them. They should fill out in a few weeks.

That is so cute Sandi, what a great use of no longer useful Crocs. Now I am going to plant a pair that is sitting around here that I never got around to throwing away. : )
Would love to have your container in our Database. If you would like to add it here is the link. http://cubits.org/sedumandsemp...

Great job Sandi! Finally, a good use for Crocs!

Sandi, did you make a hole in the toe for drainage? Or is there already holes there?

Crocs are already full of holes! I have so much planted in the top of them, I don't think the water pooling will be a problem. I'll probably just spray them occasionally. I did add a piece of plastic "onion bag" inside each shoe to hold the soil. And I 'pinned' the sedums with tiny copper wire so they wouldn't fall out when I hung it. A friend sent me a pic of crocs with flowers in them. I think those would be harder to keep watered than the succulents.

thanks goldfinch....I never owned Crocs, but I wish I had bought stock!

The lawn is all mowed and now I am ready to start working on putting some pots together. Need some Alieve first. That was alot of mowing.

Just wanted to let you all know that I changed the settings on the Container Database and the Wreaths & Topiary Database so that you can add entries without approval. They will be in and accessible as soon as you enter them. : )

I got some awesome handmade containers from imapigeon http://cubits.org/mudders/ I already have pictures in my head about what I will plant in them. Will post pictures when I get them all planted up.

Look what I found at Home Depot and Lowes. Sad to say none are winter hardy here, but I plan on taking them indoors for the winter.
First batch.

Second batch.

Oops, take it back, three of them are winter hardy here. Three types of delosperma.
