My aunt gave me these plants a few years ago and I stuck them in the ground here – I was busy at the time and didn’t have time to plan where i was going to put them. I also didn’t know what they looked like or how tall they’d grow.

I began pondering last fall about what I could do with a patch of earth that lined the whole side of the house and a portion of the driveway. This strip gets lot of sun and heat, all day. What came to mind was a Container Garden. Now I am not talking about just filling a few pots with flowers and calling “it a day”. What I have in mind are items that I can repurpose; or unusual garden pieces; or items that are just pretty to place among the flowers and various containers.
