Outstanding idea, Raven!

Do you consider "urns" to be "containers" for this topic? I think I've got a fairly good pic of our feature garden from last sping, including a nice urn planting.

If memory serves me right, you'd included my Helium article about building wooden planters on your zone, too, right? How about a nice, fresh picture of how the actual project turned out? I can go grab the camera, if you'd like to see it.

Yes, Jim, urns definitely count as containers!  A picture of an urn planting would be great.  I would also love a pic of that planter you built-- that'll be a nice visual for the blog.  I don't have nearly enough photos there.  I need to get off my duff and take some of my own, but I welcome container gardening pics from anyone who wants to share them. 

Hi Raven,

Here are the two pics:

You should be able to use either picture by using right-click>Save Image Location or right-click>Save Image As.

If that doesn't work, send me your email address and I'll send them to you as attachments. I posted a quick blog-blurb about the planter and bench set, and added a big ol' link to your Container Gardening Zone there, too.

Thanks for your invitation, Raven!

Great pics, Jim!  Your deck photo will appear on the Creative Gardening blog on June 9th (Tuesday).  I'm going to use the urn photo for the Container Gardening Zone. 

LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the deck!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The urn is pretty cool, too!

I love this idea. I am so new to gardening that I likely won't write any articles. I do however have some photos of my apartment balcony garden from last year, including a photo of my upside down tomato plant.
