So, you are sitting there having a break for a second. You realize you can't sit still. So what do you do. Find something to do with empty pots and extra plants. LOL
Too much time, too many plants!
That is adorabe!
My dogs would knock it over in a second!
superglue.......
That's so cute! I'm going outside right now and be a copycat! Just hope DH doesn't knock it over! LOL
As those coleus grow and fill in it is going to look like a multicolored tree!
Where do you get your energy?? and your creativity? I'm going to be a copycat too, I love it!
LOL So many compliments! The pots were left overs as were the coleus. The begonia on top was from the round up last year (thanks elena!). I can't say I have all that much energy, I just can't sit still. LOL My little pyramid looks nicer and takes up less space than a bag of potting mix, a half flat of plants and ten pots did sitting in the same space. :)
Ooooh maybe I'll do a red white & blue theme. Think I have time for the 4th?
Sure and lots of plant choices too!
That is so neat! I haven't ever seen anyone do that before. I am headed out to see if I can accomplish something similar. The begonia looks great and I am glad you have enjoyed it. Looks like it found a great home.
Ah Chele - I see your brain still works (not like mine) and with such ingenuity!! lol!!! Great idea!!!!!!
Elena the begonia actually looks a bit sickly but that is because most of them are rooting. The original two got close to two feet tall and needed a bit of help. They did bloom inside all winter though. Thanks again.
ROTF!!
Mags, of course the brain works! No one said it did good things, but it does things. giggle
heh-heh!! Mine has stopped - period!! Now where is your post about my red soil....see what I mean!!!
Beautiful! OH I am going to be copycat! I need to go and buy some clay pots, dirts and plant some impatients next year! It will be on front porch at new house so my dogs wont knock them down! :o)
I love it 'Chele........but I could just see a football or basketball carreening into it at my house!!
"eyes"
I'm jealous! It would be destroyed in under 5 minutes at my house.....too many kids under the age of 6!
BEAUTIFUL!

Oh, i love it too!!!! hmmm, so much talent there :)
What a great idea.
LOL I forgot all about this. You can barely see the pots now!
thats it Badseed...
you're hired!
I have entirely too many plants, and too little time... perhaps this could even it out.
LOL Drew! If I came down there with my hubby and 5.2 kids, I may never leave! I love GA!!
please excuse my ignorance...
but how do you have 5.2 kids? is this some tricky ohio thing?
Having 5.2 kids is easy but having 5.2 kids and still having
too much time is astounding! No, that isn't right...Having kids is never easy...but 5.2 is 5 little girls and number 6 is in the oven but not yet complete!
And it just might be a tricky Ohio thing......
And it just might be a tricky Ohio thing......
Badseed (I almost abbreviated you to BS but decided not to when I realized what it meant *blush* ) are you going to show us a current picture of your coleus tree?
LOL I could not come up with a good number for being one month prego, or 1/9th prego so I just added .2. LOL Okay blonde here. Just smile, it's easier. Yes, I will post another picture of the coleus when I think to snap one. gee. Where did all that time go?? I have realized I will have to switch the pots on the left with the ones on the right though. One side gets more sun and grew faster. Glad I did not glue them together. :)
That is a very cute set up! I thing I'll try that this year with my strawberry plants. Give them height, without taking up a huge amount of space. Bigger pots, maybe?
Great Idea! I am going to copy it on my deck this summer. I plan to do it with herbs; cascading ones on the bottom and taller ones on the top. Has anyone ever tried poking holes in those thick sort of pot liners for hanging baskets? I see so many hanging just planted up on the inside of the liner -- would look much better if you could make some slits and plant all around -- get a nice "ball of flowers" like they always have in public hanging basket displays! Anyone out there tried it? Sandy in Naperville, IL
I decided to try out your pyramid idea. It is happy beneath the eaves of the house on our upper deck. I'm planning to add another row or two, but I'm not rushing. Maybe plant some crocus in the fall, for spring bloom? We'll see.
Wow! I forgot about this thread again. :) The violets look lovely! I didn't connect mine in any way. I have 10" pots which were pretty stable when I stacked them. I also slightly offset them so the higher ones were just touching the wood railing behind them. The pots are all filled with bulbs right now so I'm not sure what I'll do with them this year. LOL
OH.. I forget about this.. I bought lots of coleus and impatients... forget about clay pots. I guess I need to save up some $$ and buy some clay pots and get some cuttings from my coleus and root it and plant them in the clay pots.
You don't have to go buy the pots, just watch for discount plants in nice pots. LOL Even if the plants croak, you still have the pots. :)
