Ahhh Yes Lou, That old woman follows me around, too. Good luck with your surgery. I've had both my knee and shoulder done but the back is still holding up.
Becky, I have seen some very very nice plantings done with old tubs. I have one that was used for years to water the horses in the pasture. When I didn't need it anymore I threw extra pond plants in it. Or the kids used it to hold beer kegs. LOL It's in the project stage hopefully I will get it up and running before summers end. I wanted mine painted and Ric did that last fall so I expected it to be done for the water lotuses but I still haven't gotten it quite finished. Can't remember the name of the paint but it is a very bright orange/red. I only had the outside painted the inside is still white enamel. You can sink them in the ground or let them sit on top, painted or not. Lot's of options. I'll post pictures of mine when it's done.
