Container Gardening

Our newest member, Camp West who gardens in containers got me thinking that we don't have a thread for that specific type of gardening. I'd like to see people post pictures and share their experiences doing container gardening.

Here are some of my flower containers.

I don't think that is the one I have. I threw away the tag so I have to google it.

Good idea for a thread Mary!
I love making containers. I don't do much for my own at home, but get to do several for clients. It's so fun coming up with something different every year. Last year I did an aromatic themed pair for a clients entry walk. I was nervous about breaking away from the usual annual mixes but they turned out great and my clients liked them.

@ninnymary love your containers, the one on the fence really caught my eye. From the looks of it your chickens have pretty fancy digs. The other container with the purple flowers is it concrete or maybe hyperturfa?
