What do you plant in your containers—got pictures?

Oh, that's lovely too, pirl. It appears you are very artistic as well. :)

Thanks. It's been better but the 10 day July heat wave didn't help anything including the plants.

Is that a sweet potato vine?

(Arlene) Southold, NY(Zone 7a)

Yes, it is. Thanks to cathy166 (Marcia) I've taken cuttings and rooted many of them.

I grow it here every year. It's one of my favorites. I'm a lover of chartreuse green.

Yes, anyone can join in the threads. Love your epiphyllum. I grew a lot of them on our lanai patio when I lived in CA. They could be outside year around there. I have a couple here growing from cuttings people have given me but they are still too small to bloom. They stay in the garage over the winter.

I have at least 3 pots for years and only 1 has bloomed, what's the secret?

Clarksville, TN(Zone 7a)

They like bright light, not too much water. Bloom fertilizer January, Feb, March. Difficult to say for sure since everyone's growing conditions vary. You know how that is. :/

Kansas City (Joyce), MO(Zone 5a)

Not much water....hummmm, must of been why one bloomed one bloom last summer in the middle of our 100 degree days and I had missed watering for some time....hummm. Fertilizer, I have got to get better about doing that especially potted plants, they luck out in that when I transplant them they do get soil with fertilizer in it if it is still good that is....

Clarksville, TN(Zone 7a)

I know what you mean. I've neglected fertilizing my potted plants and containers this year. Got to get back on the ball. :/

Just had an idea after helping DH organize a few things in his building.....
See any similarities? They might need to be a few details worked out but:
This second picture is of a set of storage bins is ideal for storing nuts, bolts, screws and other small parts around the shop! The bins feature reinforcement fingers to create a lip for hanging them off the wall to save space. 20 molded mount bins and five wall mount brackets are included to make this a great set of storage bins to keep your garage or workshop organized and tidy.
• Ideal for storing nuts, bolts, and small parts
• Includes 20 molded mount bins, five wall mount brackets
• Reinforcement fingers create lip for hanging bins
all for $9.99 which I think is amazing from Harbor Freight. Might also be a good way to start plants......
Second picture are the containers from harbor freight. Now granted the first set does have a drip cap at the bottom, but..... If you don't have a harbor freight close to you, you can order online...

I like your way of thinking. I've got some of those and I've been wanting to start some lettuce which I feel would work well in these. Thanks for the idea, bye for now, going to go look for them.

Thinking in January I will get busy on those and hang them in my garden room.
