Dipper Gourd stretches


We have not had rain but lots of watering has really helped the heirloom dipper gourd reach for the sky.

Dipper Gourd Update

Sorry for the strange photo. We have had several days of warm bright light following cool rainy mornings. The gourd plants are up and growing.

Restored Urn


The restored urn has been planted in an all white theme and is filling in nicely. Soon the brick plinth will lift it up about a foot or a foot and a half. A round bed can then be created to enhance and protect the urn and its contents.

What would you do with six antique cast iron urns?

What would you do with six antique cast iron urns? They are small, about the size of a hanging basket.  I envision them in the yard mounted higher upon brick plinths, anchoring beds and borders, filled with tulips. or hanging with frothy green ferns. 

What would you plant in them?
