Containers 2009

Thanks!!... I keep fixing them Dayne... not as bad as I thought though

Every one of your containers is such a pleasure to see, I had to throw two of them out too much rain just made mush out of them, water could not drain fast enough, what a spring and now summer we have had.

so sorry Maria

That's about the only thing we cannot do anything about: the weather

I have Persian Shield and its not doingtoo well. Its too cloudy even tho the plant doesnt like too much sun.

The lamp shade/hood I picked up last year.

Why I put 2 daturas in the middle of it? Everyone made them sound so beautiful - yah right

And the same EE's

Love the lamp shade container. Did you post that on the trash to treasure forum?

Yes last year I did. Now hubbie got some kind of spool probably held wire to set it on!! What a goof.

Turn it into a table?

No way. I have too much stuff hanging around here!

love the lamp shade!!

Sherrie that Lamp Shade is perfect!

In this basket is Bacopa 'Blue Showers' and Purple Calibrachoa

very nice Dyane & Joann

Most of my containers did not do well this year, too much rain, some simply drowned

This is my friend's hanging basket whom I visited quite a few times in WA, a member here on DG. He starts with plugs or seedlings in his green house. I am having 'envy' problems. Thought you like to see atleast one of them

oops, wish I knew how to make this picture larger

Trying once more

Those are gorgeous.

Beautiful!!!
