    Lol,..i did move the container around,..twice,..its found a permanent spot with a Wallflower in it,..but wait i do have a water feature with a pump inside it,..water cascades down the steps under the small gaps around the edge and is pumped back up again,..working on it as it needs a supply of water other than that stored under the plate.

    Wow great pics. Love the pots :) Really adore your garden, I'm trying to get there... I used those biodegradable starter pots before but prefer the plastic reusable ones. Mine don't open and close like that but it comes with a tray that I just set them in. They sure do come in handy. So did you have a specific plant in mind for your new pot when you bought it? I work at a craft store and every isle I walk down I say to myself "oh I can grow something in that" haha :)

    Hi Mrs. Galeassi,..i love the scent of Wallflowers and i decided to get a tall container to house a Wallflower as then the plant would be nose high lol,..and it worked perfectly,..the second tall container was purchased on the spur of the moment,..they were displayed for almost two years with no price added,..so being dusty and scratched as well i tried for a shop soiled/damaged plea and it worked,..now it also houses a Wallflower but a different species.

    What a nice fountain Philip. Sure hope you get up and running. I bet that wonderful waterfall sound would be perfect in your garden.

    Hi Cheryl,..yes the sound can be relaxing,..though i seldom relax for long in the garden,..i always spot something that needs dead heading,..or something to be moved.
