That seed mixer is a riot, Taylor. Too funny! Jack in the Box has great salads. You can use the top and bottom for drip plates under plants. I like the black bottoms esp. for this.

I am terrible at not spending. The only way I manage is if I stay home and even then if I am online who knows what will grab me.

I need really big planters so I can plant a succulent garden. I am going to take 3 ft by 15 feet from my husband's grass area and have big troughs going across. The only pots I have seen that will work are clay and quite pricey as well as being easily cracked. So I have decided to make like Martha and make some hypertufa ones.

I understand they will be much cheaper and hopefully lighter in weight. And as a bonus I really like how succulents look in them. Along part of it I am going to do a second row of planters but shorter. May do round ones at the ends. I am hoping since they all will match, it will not look choppy.

My understanding is you can add texture and even color to them.
