I hmmmd and hawwwwdd about doing this. But I had this cool fountain my staff bought me a couple of years ago. My goofy electrician rigged something up for me to operate it, but didn't put it on a switch, so everytime I wanted to operate it, I had to go outside and plug it in. (and unplug it!) The Pump wasn't working (until today of course!!!).So this morning...I dumped in the dirt and there was no turning back! I really think I'll get a lot more pleasure out of it as a gigantic planter!

I planted Sunpatiens in it and it's fairly sparse. These plants are great though as I found them for the first time last year at Home Depot and II still have some growing in full sun. They grow about 2 feet tall and a foot wide!

I still have some room to add some spillers in the bottom. I added some asparagus fern on top but still need something on the lower tier. This is a very sunny, hot location.

Any suggestions would be appreciated...
