I like potted plants

 Steel lined, slate flower pot, 12" x 12" xx 30"
And I am always hunting for new ones, unusual things I can turn
into a potted flower pot or I make my own.  Recently a client
hired me to make steel raised garden beds for her garden.  This
involved two beds that were 12' x 3' and two beds that were
about 5' x 6' and about 18" tall.  This was to replace her old and rotten cedar flower beds. I liked this idea, raised beds that
could last for a hundred years so decided to make some smaller
ones for myself, about 12" x 12" x 30" and another set about 8"
This is the photo I post often as it changes often.

This used to be a fountain but this year will be home to green beans! I hope they like the copper and slate wall.

This one has Snap Peas growing in it.

Mt Garden Today

I keep losing my photos on Picasa, don't know why?
Here are some recent ones though.
Now the weather is cooling, it has been hot for May.
We are more "normal" forecast for the next ten days,
65F. during the day and 48 at night, and a little rain,
but not too much.
 Little Garden Pool, 8' x 15' x 3' deep, nice on a hot day!
