I have this old cast iron fountain that I just love. We planted it with semps with good draining soil, but we had a really bad rain storm and it filled up .. Crying

I just love the way it looks so am reluctant to give it up. Smiling

It is 3 days past the storm and they seem to be doing OK. I have received advise to repot them ASAP. And I was about to do so, but they looked pretty good today. Confused

Would anyone have suggestions on how to drain a cast iron planter without putting a hole in it? I'm all ears!

This is how they look today.Thumb of 2012-06-09/CDsSister/619f5c

I can put them in an area where they are less likely to be rained on. WHAT DO YOU THINK????
