This year I have seven container gardens. Three are planted with identical combinations and four are just willy-nilly.

Hey, three of those are new pots. I think they're 14 or 16 inches across. I may not use my terra cotta pots this year. These ones are fiberglass and look rusty. The pattern is called "Devonshire."

Of course, after browsing this sight, I realize everyone is thinking, "Big deal!" Well, :oops:

for me, it is a big deal. I don't use small flower pots because they dry out so fast.

Midnight, it is a Big deal. Pots are not easy. To get the right combo is difficult. I love containers. It is fun putting them together sometimes it works sometimes is does not. :lol:

Have you considered putting some succulents in your terracotta pots?

Pics, Pics I want to see Pics.

I'm not happy with any of my pots this year. I was with some, but now they don't look so good. I wish I could have taken photos a couple of weeks ago, but I was way too busy. There they are (most of them) in the distance:

Mornin'! All of my combination pots are pretty sad looking this year too! I think it's the abundance of RAIN! I have beautiful geraniums in almost all of them....with a lot of other plants. The geraniums have really suffered being too wet.

Oh well....there's always NEXT year. Good thing I like challenges!......p :wink:

You aren't kidding about the geraniums and the rain. They've almost rotted even though I have drainage holes at the bottom and rocks under the potting soil. I thought I was doing something wrong but I didn't know what.

I've taken two pics of my containers:

I think it was Alternanthera dentata 'Purple Knight' (Calico plant, Joy weed).
