Already a Favorite (Planters Cont'd)

*********************

Keeping the mod theme, I love this "Modern White Baby Head Vase Planter" by Mudpuppy. The second is a quilted planter of handmade stoneware pottery in silky white by artist, Julie Knowles. There's something to be said for the simple whiteness in contrast to the organic plant. The pot, though a container, does not compete with the plant inside. My first succulent, a jade plant (actually given to me by Nonni, was in a simple light grey cat planter. I had it for years and simply do not know what happened to it in the move.

Sexy and Witty (Recyclable) Ideas for Planters

*********************

I was thrilled several months ago when Russ, on a trip up to Seoul, came home with April's issue of "Real Simple". In it, old Crocs were hung up by the heels with a piece of twine and used as hanging planters. Immediately I started thinking of other shoe planter ideas. I must confess, this etsy designer, Giddy Spinster, has the glam on me.

I love this dinosaur from Plaid Pigeon

Sweet Idea: The Forest and The Sea

*********************

My mom is inundated with blue agave and I'd like to create variations of these terrariums using shells, sea glass, moss and of course a variety of succulents.

A Late Summer Garden

*********************

I'm a big fan of container gardening but am especially looking forward to working with raised beds.

Peas, strings beans, carrots and many kinds of greens can still be grown in the late summer. I still have to find that house :) Starting small with perhaps a 5' x 5' framed bed might allow me to experiment better with soil, compost and drainage.

Many years ago, my good friend, Bev and I, back hoed a good part of her backyard with quite an ambitious garden. It was fun, and a lot of work, but like all good things worth having, it took a lot of time and patience.

A Garden Waiting for Me in Savannah

*********************

Here I am in Korea with less than a month before Russ, the cats and I get on several long plane rides and return to our new & old home of Savannah. We are still looking for a house to rent, and one to eventually buy, but what can not wait is a garden.
