DG Site Updates: TAKE OVER MY MAKE OVER!, 0 by Gymgirl

Hi,
I'm walking around the yard looking at containers in various stages of death, dying, and decay, and assessing what I want to keep alive for the Spring. I sat there thinking about what to put together when I repot stuff, and reflected on the HGTV show "Design Cents," I had just finished watching.

On that show, they come into your house and rearrange what's already there and turn your dump into a castle!

How about a forum like that for our gardens? We could post pics of what we already have, and the gurus could post suggestions on what to put with what, where to put it, which container, etc.

Like, I have these spikey thingies that come in the floral arrangements. I like them, cause the pros seem to always include them in their arrangements, and they add balance in the pots. Last summer, I planted pots of red flash caladiums and put those pots in the flowerbox with the long, spikey green thingies inbetween. It really looked great! That's what I'm talking about.

So, I'm looking at all these huge planters and all these many little pots of various stuff, thinking how I should combine them into some striking arrangements for the Spring/Summer. I'd like to take some pics of stuff I'd like to keep for next Spring and wouldn't mind the gurus offering suggestions on what I can combine together.

How about it? Here's a pic of what the window box looked like last summer.

Thanks in advance!
