Dare I show you?

You all have such LOVELY and beautiful container gardens. You have definitely inspired me to first of all be cleaner... haha there's another story-- but also inspired me to think of my containers as compositions in themselves, whereas I usually found most my time spent in caring for the plant.

Anyhow, I'm gonna post yall some pictures of my containers, not so yall can laugh at me, although feel free ;) but just to show you what I'm working with as a transient, aka college student, and to ask for suggestions. I just love this forum (since its pretty much all I can do) and I want to share and see all I can here!

Do yall have any suggestions on how to make things look good in my itty bitty space?

Last one was part sun, this is full sun.

This one is the sad sight at my ONLY window downstairs. I could just stop buying plants I suppose :D

All three look like happy sites to me!!!
Well done! You have a nice variety of plants.
Keep buying/trading, planting, and maintaining them.
Green thumbs up!

You're doing great! On another forum I belong to one of our members lives in Berlin in a small apartment, and has the smallest growing area I've ever seen. But she grows everything you can imagine! She even grows clematis, tomatoes, peppers. Just keep on keepin' on, like the writer above suggested.

Stop buying plants? YEAH RIGHT!!!!! ROTFL!!!

PS Joking aside, I love the variety of plants.

Is this what you do to keep sane while a student? Looks wonderful, keep buying plants, LOL!

Looks great to me. Keep up the great work.

:)Well thanks yall! Yes, this definitely keeps me sane! Every morning before class and when I get home I spend about an hour doting/watering/staring lol.

Maybe you can convince my roommates and boyfriend that this is NORMAL ! :D They seem to think I've created a strange jungle lol

I don't know if it's NORMAL. LOL But it's the same way here, and I've NEVER been called NORMAL.

I think you have some great looking plants there! My only suggestion would be to get some nice pots if you can, or maybe paint the ones you have. That always makes things look spiffier and more deliberate. :)
