Fall Gardening

Okay, if you've read my blog for a while you know I have a bad black thumb.

I can plant em, and they look great, but I just can't keep em lookin that way!

errrg.

Could it be that I haven't been home long enough to take care of the little babies?

I think that is probably the problem.  So, now I'm home for a while and can plant away!

and

our house is on the Reynold's tour in a little over a week, so I had to get busy with my containers!

so this is what I had to work with

first up, my precious antique planter (I admittedly don't know what this thing is called)

and this plant was still thriving and I couldn't bring myself to dig her up...

then I have this.  Found at Scott Antiques for 40 smackers.  I'm going to use it as a planter

then we have this.  Still thriving pretty well and omg it killed me to pull all of this out.

but I had to put them out of their misery before dying a long, slow death.

so, here's my fall container planting.  It's amazing what will fit in the trunk of a convertible.

It went from here:

to here:

and here:

and here:

I'm gettin there!  just a few dozen more pots to go!!!

tomorrow's blog?

a tutorial on how to make that Butterfly Chandelier that is floating all over Pinterest.

my version in progress:

thank goodness I ran out of fishing line because I would have never gone to sleep!

Level of difficulty: average.

Level of time: a lot.

p.s. after I got all the stuff to do this,  I checked on Etsy and someone sells a kit.

Sometimes I just shake my head at myself.

have a great day y'all!

I'm hitting that lil white ball today!  yippee!!!
