Blogging, book writing, working, prepping for the #beetnik tweetup & occasionally paying attention to wonderful hubby has worn me out. Nite!

I do love how pots can give height to a plant that is normally a ground cover or such – and if used correctly can draw the eye in.
ooooh, I like it! Maybe we can do something like that it my yard.
Sure Roberta! Later tonight I’m going to send you pics of tree ideas for your front yard. I think a large pot nestled in among the plants would look great next to the tree that is going in where the yucca used to be.
Darned if I wasn’t just going through some of my old pics and noticed a few well-placed pots nestled in among the foliage. The pic you found is way prettier than the old ones I rustled up!
It’s a great concept and a nice way to add some year-round structure to an area of the garden that’s lacking.
