Vintage Silver Planters

Using a collection of silver pots and some colourful succulents, this weekend project is whole lot of vintage with a healthy dose of rock and roll.

Succulents in Vintage Silver
The first thing I armed myself with for this project was Debra Lee Baldwin’s Succulent Container Gardens: Design Eye-Catching Displays with 350 Easy-Care Plants . Within the pages there a veritable wealth of information on many different kinds of succulents including Aeoniums, Haworthias, Lewisias, Sedum, Sempervivums and a whole bunch more I’ve seen before but couldn’t name.

Grow Your Own Perennial Herb Container Garden

For years now I have been growing my garden herbs in containers just down the deck stairs from the kitchen.  While a few changes are made each year, the foundation of this garden is perennial herbs. The garden will continue to produce for much of the year allowing me winter harvests of sage, marjoram, rosemary, oregano, and sometimes arugula.  Other herbs will pop up in their due time from chives in early spring to saffron crocuses in the fall.
