Planter adds dimension

People were not exactly holding their breath waiting for this photo, but several wanted to see the new planter in my backyard. Here it is.

I've never had many planters, but I realized that even one adds a new dimension to the yard. It extends the garden without you having to do anything but plop the planter down. (And of course plant it, or buy it.) I'm really enjoying this one. From where I usually sit at the kitchen table, it's right outside the sliding glass door that leads to the back. I think it's very sweet.

I agree: Yours is very sweet. My sister, an expert gardener, artfully filled a few planters for my front steps recently. I've been enjoying them so much.

Lovely! I especially like the look of the lacy lobelia draping over the sides.

I love the combination of plants and textures. It be hard not to smile at the sight of that pretty planter.

It's lovely. When I get down, I walk outside to my patio and look at my small flower garden and it feeds my soul and spirit.
