Hi Neal! :0)

I can see why that picture is an inspiration. It is so colorful, that even without flowers, you'd get the feeling there were lots...

I am almost positive I've seen on a design show(desing on a dime?) that they used a paint for plastic patio chairs that was especially designed for plastic...

Here is a picture of one of those take out trays turned seed tray, I mentioned previously. The lid is underneath it. At first I used the lid to cover it to germinate the seeds, then used it on the bottom, so I could water from the bottom up, so I wouldn't damage the fragile seedlings, by smashing them with hard splashes of water, and also so that the top of the soil would stay dry, so that the gnats weren't attracted to it.

And milk jugs...there could be an entire thread devoted just to all the thousands of uses for milk jugs, lol...

Neal you are so right...seeds is definitely the longer process, but SO much less expensive.

You get instant gratification from buying a plant at the nursery, but you get lasting gratification from growing your own :0)
