Catching up

Back in May I ordered some stacking planters for my front porch railings from NJ Supply Ltd.  I had seen the planters in a flea market in Florida but didn't want to haul the planters back to Michigan.  When I started looking on the Internet, the sites I had copied were down.  Then I found the planters on Home Shopping Network.  Now they are back on the above website.

I had a couple of hanging planters created by my son-in-law, who has a high school greenhouse for his Agriculture classes.  I took apart the hanging planters, which typically overgrow and are hard to keep watered.  The new planters have a reservoir of water and will not require daily attention.  Here they are as of July 9.

East by the porch steps
Not trying to sell these things, just really happy with mine.  The smaller pots can stack together and there is an addition that lets you string them and hang them.

Three Tiered Planter
This is a triple planter I have had for 3 years.  I bought new cocoa liners this year and split up another pre-planted pot from a garden shop and divided it up among the 3 tiers.  

Chair One
Chair Two

These two chairs were part of a bistro set, but when one chair split and could not be used as intended, it became a garden chair.  This year I acquired the other and placed the pair in front of a window.  Again, I split up a couple of over-the-hill pre-planted hanging baskets.
