Thought I'd start a post to chronicle my container plants.

My big pots going down the stairs have 4 plant in them. Sweet Williams, Portulaca, Petunias, and purple Allysum.

I have four of these huge metal planters along the sidewalk......planted Celosia in them...Red and Yellow to match the red and yellow of my hanging baskets.

Also got them in planters on each end of the porch.

Got a little planter with Portulaca on the porch.

And a Geranium, Portulaca, and Petunia....

I have many more containers around the yard....slowly I will add more.....

Can you tell I like "stuff"? lol I could never just have a plain container with nothing in it....I like to embellish them with things. grin They'll fill out a lot before too long...especially the big planters on the steps.

Yes, your planters are wonderful. I'd like to see them now too. Bet they really filled in great! I love seeing what everyone else has planted in to get more ideas.
