figured it just about time to start a thread for conatiners
this weekend we filled containers with cannas, tuber roses, and caladium (all from co-ops)....and we started our miniature gardens... keep in mind these are not done yet... still going to add some things to them

I really like the designs you've made with the stone. :-)
They're SO cute!!!
I can't do any containers in my backyard, Wall-e likes digging them up. So have to plan for the front...I'm still planting things from the swap I'll get to my containers eventually.
correction the designs Randy made... he said he felt like being back in high school building the sets for the plays... LOL
lol! Sounds like you both have been enjoying putting these together!
So far the only container gardening I've done is taking a couple 14" round pots and tossing in some lettuce and radish seeds. This weekend is supposed to be nice so maybe I'll get out some of my bigger containers to add some interest to the front porch. You've definetely inspired me!
Nice pics, Onewish
WAAAHHHOO
How did I miss this thread.
Here are some of mine, mostly coleus
DD's
.Deck arrangement

.These were supposed to be poppies ,they didnt germinate so I used coleus Fiesta and Wild Lime and Osteospermum
.I love Giant Mahogony and Glory together, some Bacoba and Thai Basil
warms my heart
lol
Has anyone tried growing garden phlox in a container??
I never have,do you consider how the root system takes the winter?
I haven't grown gardnen phlox Jen.. just the annual stuff... twinkle i think it's called
Ge.. love the osteospermum ... love your baskets!
Ge, love the baskets, too! Do you fasten them down or are they heavy enough not to get blown over? We get some strong winds here and I'd love to steal your idea!
DD has a friend who is a mortitian.
When there is a large funeral she delivers left over flowers to nursing homes and we are last on her delivery list.
Some of the containers are really good, others are paper and we toss. We have fresh flowers everywhere in the house for a week,they dont last long but in the winter,they are a great spirit lifter.
The baskets held huge arrangements.They have a plastic dish in the bottom.
I drilled holes in the dish and she plants them with what she chooses. She anchors them to the railings wits a bungie cord, works great.
Thanks, ge!
no problem
well I pulled a record off yesterday.. bloom masters & hang a pots are all full... my tomato, cucumber & pepper containers full... we re potted a willow salix that wasn't looking too good
next job is the annual bed.. which for some reason I usually have done by now and haven't gotten to it
I will take some photos hopefully today
U go girl
It's been weird weather, I think everyone is late on things this year.
sorry no time for photos again... planted some dwarf glads in a big whiskey barrel we picked up at the christmas tree shop a few months ago... filled the bird feeders ... watered the seedlings... cleaned and refilled the humming bird feeders
then sat my butt down to enjoy a glass of ice tea in the yard... I am whooped!
Raining here.
here are my posts
2 - birds are beating the heck out of these
3 - put black eye susan vines in the lower containers to see how that would go... just put some nails up yesterday so they can grab on
4 - didn't get the hang a pots on this one yet... hopefully this weekend

With so much rain and cloudy weather the coleus are disapointing.
