I wasn't sure where to plant all my new simps so decided to pot them up for this year. I saw a picture of a herb style garden useing simps so I tried to make one.

I found out that a really bad bacteria growing in birdbaths in this area is killing the birds. As I am rather lazy and don't want to bleach my birdbaths every 3 days but I don't want to kill any birds (plus we have the pond that is safe) I decided to recycle.

Strawberry pot with simps in the side holes and red dragon sedum on top.

Those look really sweet. We've all certainly learned to love the semps this summer haven't we?

I miss and missed the litle things. Herre's the stuff and I just stuck them...already packaged when I injured my foot for Melanie in IL...so now I;m kind than more tired of keeping them so I'll be shipping them. So glad I'm on to bigger things for myself.
It look great what you've done...I know the personal satifaction you feel. I miss the little things and didn't even want to sweat it when I couldn't walk. Just like your dish bird bath mine where shallow and do need to be watered to look their est...although I've had a few in my car for about 3 weeks in little clay pots and I can't believe
they are still alive. I haven't water them yet put at least tossed them out of that extreem.
Got to make it to the post office.

I'm hidding my ignored Aloe in the back for this stuff, good thing for fast recoveries...right by the kitchen back door. I'm in a concolidation mode.
I had mine all make it in the iwnter in NJ in a metal thing.

I love your angel wing begonia. What is blooming in the front? By the way they are planted in an old corn or coffee grinder.

Yes, it's a crusher and most likely the last year. Falling apart. I moved iut under an awening. That's a plain old pink begonia. There's another plant somebody from BS sent me and it doesn't look like a typical Begonia...I have to look it up next rain day or take a picture and ask.
Left several rooted cutting over the summer while I was gone, all kinds of plants at work....what a mess. It looks so slobish. There's crap all over, weeds, mounds of pots, sick and dying plants and junk. It looks so bad. I think the only way I will get it cleaned up is to post a before and after picture...it must be I'll have to face the fact and start to toss the stuff out, never want to beleive for lack of time or help. I'm so suprised nobody has said anything yet....One afternoon I'm going to get it done...maybe today is the day.
