I love your planters. They look pretty. You are right, dark colors would have disappeared from a distance. Have you grown those Spruce before? Get a good bug spray. They get spider mites badly. I learned the hard way that they aren't landscaping plants. I saw some beautiful snapdragons and nemesia today that would be pretty in your wall planter. Bacopa is cold tolerant too. <BR/><BR/>The stone on your home is stunning!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11489642.post-20543025318258847602008-03-22T23:33:00.000-04:002008-03-22T23:33:00.000-04:00I love bargains like that.

I think next week will bring better results. Your spruces and pansies do look springy. My front pots still have some very old kale. Pathetic.

Yes, you're right - they are very thin, you can't stack 'em, and definitely not heavy duty. A lot of ours didn't even make it through the winter.<BR/>:(<BR/>Once the water seeped into them and they froze, it crumbled them like old bread, so from our experience, you might want to bring them into a garage or basement for winter.<BR/>But, they <I>are</I> very cool, aren't they? Even if they are thin, I think they're awesome looking!Tinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17527514833267869251noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11489642.post-8113021535539705712008-03-22T10:14:00.001-04:002008-03-22T10:14:00.001-04:00I can't believe how much those stepping stones wer...I can't believe how much those stepping stones were!
