| yellow and purple mums, rockin' out |
Plastic tubs, that is really all they are. Plastic tubs with holes in the bottom, and another plastic tub to catch the water so that everything looks tidy. So simple, so wonderful, and even more so when I found three adobe colored plastic planters on the loading dock in late summer, with the right dimensions for our balcony. After a little bit of a wash, and a few weeks sitting on the porch (I was busy, it happens) the planters were ready for some action. But what to plant? Late September is probably too late for edibles, although who knows what the weather will be like throughout autumn. I was finally struck by the gardening inspiration spirit when I passed a rack of mums at the hardware store.
After two trips to the store, involving 8 mum plants, 10qt of potting soil, then another really heavy bag of potting soil I was well supplied to create my autumn garden.
You can see the mums arranged on the balcony, beautifying the world.
Happy freestyling, and when life hands you planters, make a garden!
