Hi Lynn
Here is a rather blurry picture of one of the wall boxes. This is what the boxes look like that I've been planting. But after yesterdays epiphany, I've spent the morning reducing the soil depth and replanting. My fingers are crossed!

I bet your fingers feel like they are crossed.

What a beautiful mosaic that makes Cynda, I love it. I need to come to your awesome nursery to see what you've been doing lately. You do such creative containers. I had a hard time leaving your tables at the fall Plant Sale in Rickreal last year. I felt like a kid in an amazing candy store. : )

Lynn, That wreath is 16 inches at the outer edge.

Boy those wall boxes sure are pretty. I had an idea about how to plant my horse topiary frame. Not sure what I will plant it with yet but I have been thinking about how to stuff it with soil and moss. Then I was thinking about the panty hose wreaths. I could fill the pantyhose and stuff the frame very easily.

Great idea Holly.

perennialobsessions, that is just beautiful. Thanks so much for the photo.

Debbie I wish you lived close enough to visit her, she is so much fun and has lovely gardens to stroll through. I love going there.
Not trying to make any of you jealous, but I will be visiting her next week. Not to worry, I will take the camera along.

Better take a truck or a trailer along too Lynn! Have a wonderful visit and will be looking forward to pictures!

Problem is I am running out of places to put the plants.

Now THAT's hard to believe!!! Join the crowd I see a new raised bed in your future.

Hey, did ya see our newest ATP feature: The thread "Is there any chance of adding an auto-jump option?" in Site Talk forum It's so cool!

Actually I do have 3 more beds I can clean out and start planting in. Just more work that I feel up to right now. But I am going to have to get started sooner than later, as I have about 100 babies in quarantine that will need to go out into beds soon.

Wow, thanks for posting that Chris. I will have to check it out.

100 babies???? You're gonna be busy!

I have made very small clearings in the current beds while harvesting plants to ship out, but that is not near enough room.

Lynn, I would love to go visit with both of you. But that is certainly not in the near future. I hope you have a great time.

My day with Cynda yesterday was wonderful. She added many new plants to her collection of semps and shared information about where they came from. My head is so stuffed with new thoughts I'm having trouble untangling them to make sense out of it.

Pictures, pictures!!! Sounds like a great day Lynn!

I have to finish downloading the photos from my camera. I will post them soon. : )

I am so happy, also very thankful to Laura for trading me two wreath forms for some semps.
I now have my very own living wreath.


I will plant some more things in it soon. I think maybe some Sedum 'Limelight' and not sure what else.

Okay, I just added more plants to my wreath. : )

Beautiful.

Thank you Charleen, it was so much fun. I can't wait until it fills in and is nicely rooted.
Chris did you say somewhere how long that takes, for it to become well rooted? I am misting it almost daily since it is so dry here in Aug. and Sept.
