Here we are in a new year with so much to look forward to. Can't wait to see what all of you come up with for you 2016 containers.
I've been refurbishing many of my containers as days will be lengthening and slowly warming. Many of the dormant plants are starting to show signs of waking up, and some of the evergreen perennial types are in need of pruning/sprucing up.

Here are couple of large containers with Sedum album and Petrosedum rupestre subsp. rupestre 'Angelina'. I cleaned up the dead bloom stalks, I see I missed a few. Rolling my eyes.

I've also added new soil to some of the containers that the soil level had dropped. Been at least 3 years since some of these have been redone. Many of my containers have small types of species bulbs that will be blooming in another month or two. Nice part about it is the bulbs will come up right through the perennials.

What are all of you doing this time of year?
