LOL, ok. Here are a few. These were taken last spring/summer. I have added a few plants and some of the dwarf evergreens have grown.
One reason I love to plant in this type of container is because I have poisonous snakes here and I do not like low growing plants that can harbor them as I walk past. This way I can grow grasses and trailing plants and still be able to see the ground. I have also replaced most of my grass with river pebbles/stones. I grow LA irises that require wet feet in a huge wash tub. I put the holes about four inches from the bottom and they thrive in it. I like to grow lantana in old wheel barrows. And I plant hens and chicks in old dish pans. I do not have a lot of luck with sempervivums. I have tried growing them without much water and with plenty of water. They just seem to diminish each year until they are gone.
Thro' all the tumult and the strife I hear the music ringing; It finds an echo in my soul— How can I keep from singing?
