    Michelle, I love the heads planted up with succulents. So cute! The black planter pots look beautiful. I’m confused! I thought that big center area under the lid was supposed to get dirt also??? Oh, could those round shapes fit into any square planters? 😅❤😅

    • @gardeningTLC

      No dirt goes there..that holds your water....and yes if the squares are big enough.

  • @chuckkolb1270
    @chuckkolb1270 Před 20 hodinami

    When you say stuffed, you mean STUFFED. The heads are wonderful. Yes, the Aquapots will become a super best seller. I will get some as I always have to find someone to water pots when we are away for just a couple of days. Your pragmatism is so welcomed.

    I have 3 Lady Shalott roses in my garden that I prune to maintain as large shrubs. I also have one trained against a trellis as a climber and has reached all the way to the roof line of my house. Basically once the plant is well established it will throw long canes that you can let go or cut back, depending on how you want to use the rose.

    @rosemarythyme6351 Před dnem

    Love your stars and stripes hair scarf!❤🤍💙 I was considering Lady of Shalot as a climber in my garden, but I went with 12ft James Galway instead. When shopping on the David Austin website, I noticed that it lists TWO Lady of Shalot English roses: shrub 5ft tall x 4ft wide AND a short 8ft climber. There's also hedge bundles in the shrub size. I LOVE your Yarrow - the Summer Pastel shouts cottage garden to me as does your Hollyhocks! I feel the same sense of accomplishment growing flowers from seeds. Nothing else like it! Your succulent heads are beautifully whimsical and you've inspired me to do something similar next year for my two porch pots. I have Sedum in my garden already. Moss Roses take me back to my childhood helping my Mom plant flowerbeds. And this year, I found Twister Grass Juncus that definitely looks like Albert Einstein with a spiral perm!

    I also purchased a Aqua Pot from Proven Winners. Unfortunately, my address was wrong (my error) and the post office wouldn't deliver it. Long story short, I'm still waiting. Proven Winners was sooooooo nice about my error. Great customer service. I'm worried about my arb living through the winter since there isn't as much dirt in the pot when you use the Aqua Pot. Do you have this worry?
