Karen,
I love the self watering pot because it has at least a 2in space between the bottom of the pot to the actual reservoir ... really cool, but I will keep checking and see what is going on... and yes I did holes on the plastic cover... I hope it works... the seeds on that container are foxgloves and shasta daisies... I lost tons of shasta dailies last year because of the voles.
The flat has Lupines. Hollyhocks, Columbines & Parsley.
