OT (suprise suprise ... an OT from me) >>>> going to be a lot more reasons soon to shut down these boxes and "get a life'* Ron, as these funerals seem to get more frequent for my friends, I've taken to trying to enjoy mine more .... I've been working on my sprinkler system yesterday and this morning..... love to look at all the beautiful flowers I've put into the ground/pots the past weeks and need to make sure they stay watered .... and thought I'd share an idea with the thread .... Mare and I usually visit several "botique" type nurseries in early spring to see new plants and ideas ..... and one we both became excited over is what I've called "an overcrowded planter" .... I bot a dozen or so large (24" dia) pots and this is what I did with some of them .... 1) put a 12inch concrete stepping stone in the botom for ballast/weight 2) filled the next foot or so with pine cones just to take up space as the soil isn't needed that deep .... even tried one using packing peanuts (those stryofoam thingies) and hope they don't vaporize ...ggggg 3) used homemade potting soil mixture for the remainder of the room 4) put in .. and I mean CROWDED in various types of colors/types of bedding plants ... example === one for the shade I used six pink begoinas, six maroon coleous, six white impatiens, six red impatiens, quartered a overwintered asparagus fern and used it, along with spriging in a dozen or so boston ivy strings clipped from the yard 5) made a two level topiary dealie out of it by inserting a 36inch stick of 2in schedule 40 PVC pipe into the large bottom pot standing up out of the middle and secured the wire basketed boston fern onto the top using a threaded nut on top of the pipe, under the bottom of the wire basket it was easy to do ... and looks GREAT ... saw basically the same thing in Dallas selling for 150-200 bucks ... put mine together for under 15 ..... for the folks on the Z who live in the frozen north it can be done now .... and even for us down here in God's country, too .....gggg I'm preparing one for each of my daughters this weekend this pot is crowded with plants ... and I mean CROWDED ... but it looks magnificent ... anyone who tries it and is disappointed ... well, I'll refund the money spent ...gggg t anyone who might be interested, drop me an pm and I'll elaborate if you desire .....
