gone potty.

I love to garden almost as much as I love to craft.
No not the heavy , sweaty gardening just the pretty stuff.
I've been looking for nice pots for ages to replace the daggy terracotta and forest green plastic pots.
If they are decent looking they either weigh a ton or are way too expensive.
I needed a few to replace my sad looking pots on our back verandah and I decided to go with the plastic toy tubs that you can pick up very cheaply from the bargain stores.
It was easy to drill holes in the bottom of them and I added a bit of gravel to help with the drainage and then I just popped my geraniums in there with some new potting mix.

 
In the last two Summers the only thing that survived
on minimal watering were the geraniums so
I think I'll just stick with them.

 
This is what they looked like before.
The poor things must have been so embarrassed !

 
Now this is the cheery sight I see!
Aaaah much better.

  2. Beautiful idea, bright and cheery, It is very hard to keep plants alive in the summer heat.
