The yard on the second day of summer

[onfruitstreet]

Most any yard that gets even the slightest attention puts mine to shame, but I'm posting a photo of it anyway. I want a record of its beginnings. (Yeah, I still need to paint the other tipsy pots. I'm waiting for at least two rain-free days in a row. Excuses, excuses.)

those tipsy pots are cool. how are they put together and what are you going to grow in them?

The tipsy pots are cool, aren't they? If I ever have excess cash (haha), I'd like to put several more in the yard. The pots are tipped side to side on rebar. I got the idea from http://www.gardensandcrafts.com/tipsypots.html . I don't have stuff in all the pots yet. A couple I planted with nasturtium seeds, the top is planted with chives. I need to dig through my seeds to see if I can find anything else to put in them. I really wish I could afford to stick actual plants in them, but I can't. It the nasturtiums ever come up (I'm using old seeds, so who knows), they'll be pretty.

i'd be interested in seeing more pics as yours progress (assuming they do).
