Creative Containers

» gem57 - Practical suggestion you have in here . . .

Hi, Ann. You're right, a container could be just anything for as long as it can hold soil or water.

I have two general types of containers: the pots (plastic, ceramics, clay and metal) for my 'soil' plants and the bottles for my 'water' plants.

Inside my place (a 3-bedroom flat, 4th floor of a 6-storey bldg.), almost every space you'll find all kinds of pots and bottles. I keep plants in the bathroom (I have 3), top of my the fridge, T.V., stereo, book shelves and tables. I even have one here in front of the keyboard.

I love to plant and enjoy collecting containers. I'm glad to know that there are others who do the same.

Simply me,

Freda

My husband's old cowboy boots get planted every year, sure they need daily watering, but trailing lobelia looks lovely out there by the sidewalk (quite the conversation piece).

» Carol Wallace - My favorite "planter"

Is a piece of tree stump with a huge hollow in it. I stuck a plastic pot into the hole and planted it with ivy and white trailing petunias.

» DLSmith - Butter bowls...

Last year my kids used all different types of butter bowls to plant in. I think by the end of the summer we had every national brand represented! It was really cute.
