Proverbs 14:1-"The wise woman builds her house.." This past weekend Derrick's grandparents had a yard sale. They kindly gave us a few things for free! :) My favorite item we got was this awesome old trunk!! I believe it was his grandma's great uncle's. I love that it has two compartments on top and then storage underneath. Can't wait to get this thing cleaned up and painted! Stay tuned for before and after pictures! SIU also had their annual flea market this weekend. I found this frame for 25 cents and this little antique jug for $1.00! I LOVE this desk! It was only $15.00 and has such unique character. After a fresh coat of paint it will look great in my craft room! :) Have you found any great thrifty finds recently?!

Last summer a good friend was in town for a visit, she relaxed on the patio while Andrew and I brought out dinner. Turns out she hadn’t been relaxing at all; she’d been counting, counting the number of containers on the patio, she stopped at 100 (note I said stopped, not the same thing as finishing). Nothing like being slapped in the face with your addiction! I have a thing for containers. They are the perfect way to showcase a special plant, give a new plant a home until you find its place in the ground, or most importantly, a way to overwinter non hardy plants. Plus I like the jolt of color they add to the garden…and the “moveable landscape” element they provide. The only problem? I have so many! Above are the ones hanging to the right of the entrance to the back garden. These are straight ahead as you enter the garden… Opuntia microdasys Aloe distans 'Jeweled Aloe', Aloe glauca and Euphorbia leucodendron This year I had so many small plants I decided to something I’ve never done before; plant multiples in the same container. I’m actually really enjoying them this way. The circle pot hangs just behind the above group. And these are across the lawn, at the back of the house. Or rather they were, when I planted up my Bocconia frutescens I decided it would look better here, the Opuntias and their orange container got the boot to another part of the garden. Now we’re headed down to the patio, container central. I’ve started moving more containers out into the garden, in an attempt to mix things up and have there not be so many here, but still… Agave utahensis, I love the long curvy spikes. To the north of the stair steps down to the patio… Mystery Aloe (from IKEA a couple of years ago) and Dudleya cymosa. Agave victoriae-reginae variegata Agave bracteosa, this one is special in that it came from Lotusland, before I realized I could buy them locally… A late addition (not in the above photograph)…pups and gifts… Banksia serrata Aloe striatula Aloe capitata var. quartziticola (thank you Denise!...can you believe she shipped this bad boy from California and didn't even break a leaf?) Another one of those combination plantings. This is so foreign to me, a couple of year ago I never would have done this. How about those Bromeliads for color eh? Variegated Gingko, I’m not sure which one since it was a gift… Looking over at the Shade Pavilion from the patio… This Dicksonia Antarctica (above) has a double trunk! You can’t see them but there are 3 containers under all of that foliage… Here is the set of three hanging containers I bought at Digs last winter. I’m afraid I haven’t been terribly creative, just tossed a few Tillandsia in there… A flush of new growth from my IKEA Sago! Aeonium tabuliforme Pseudopanax ferox Every year I’ve got to have a Papyrus… Manfreda undulata 'Chocolate Chips' Acacia baileyana 'Purpurea' Before we leave the patio I wanted to share photos from another angle… The veggie garden! Otherwise known as the driveway… There is also Bamboo and Chasmanthium latifolium (Northern Sea Oats) in the drive, I suppose it’s obvious we don’t actually park in our garage? By the back door, just to create a little spiky fear… And in the front garden, these really do look better in person than they do here. Yucca recurvifolia ‘Margarita’ Ensete maurelii Finally, since this post is all about my containers, I had to share this. I was repotting several plants this spring and using a cardboard nursery flat to catch the soil. I went into the garage to get something and when I turned around this is what I saw. A plea for attention? Or just a need for a safe place? Cutie pie...
