What is a cuddle dud??? Resin is plastic right?? If not, my turtle is plastic....I am going to drill some hols in the bottom for drainage and voila-all set-he is a cute little guy!! MIL keeps saying that I need more garden decor-she even gets me gift cards to places and write little things like "Don't the birds deserve a home" on them, but they always get spent on seed stuff or plants!!!LOL

Bay City, MI(Zone 6a)

cuddle duds=long johns but softer! LOL

I will see what the planters look like!
I buy plants too not decor! :)
