Re: Container gallery

Very nice! I need to explore more container growing. I gave up on it years ago, but am slowly coming around to the idea after finding ways to make watering them easier.

I do like having some containers on the back patio off the kitchen so I could dash out and pick an ingredient when needed. Here's my windowbox of salad fixin's Image

I do love my containers. The tomatoes and Swiss Chard I love to eat, but most of my containers are flowers. Sometimes I like to take an unusual container and plant it with flowers.
This grill belonged to my Mother-in-law. I plant it with something different evey year.

This year I have a red/yellow theme

I always enjoy seeing other gardeners containers. This year has been very wet here, so I wasn't as wowed with how my containers did as I was last year. Actually I wasn't impressed much at all with my garden this year. Some individual containers were great but put all together...not so much.

Some of the good ones

I am going to build 2 more of these to accommodate fabric bags.

And then cheated and bought the large fabric pot for flowers. Lol
