I've been going to yard sales to find chip or broken pots. Sometime Lowes or Home Depot will have broken ones and will sell them at a greatly reduced price.

I have several of these!!

Broken pots make great frog houses, too!

I'm trying this with a broken pot and petunias in my year this year!

I may need to break a pot this weekend!

An old child's wagon works equally as well to plant in too and it looks really nice with the right plants in it!

I have to try this. It looks pretty.

I have several of these; got the ideas from the lobby at Palazzos (however their pots are not broken!)

Like this a lot. Have some pretty green pots I will try this in.

I do the same thing, my dog hit some in my garden shed and they fell and broke, had a three ceramic pot all in one and was so mad the back broke off and when picking it up I decided to keep it and put it in the ground like yours and flowers and all. Going to do this by my mailbox, have seen them there and so pretty.

Have not done this yet but when I do, will post pic ok. Here is our garden and pond with falls we just finished, still adding plants.

Sharon, your garden and pond look awesome! be sure to post pics when you're done. I'd LOVE to see it!

Here are pics of pond and water falls finished, almost forgot to post pics of it done, sorry Miriam......

Wow! It looks awesome, Sharon! You should totally post this as a new post so more people will see it. Congrats on a beautiful project!

thanks ladies, enjoyed doing it so much.....not sure how to post pics on my own site, never done that before......will try....

Sharon B It's pretty simple, if you figured it out in this post, you will have no trouble :) Go to the main page (www.hometalk.com) and click on the red 'post' button. The rest is intuitive. Let me know if you need any help.

thank u will do........

I hadn't heard that. Here in Illinois, my impatiens look the best they have all summer due to the drought. It's been raining now, so they are happy.

yes, I went home to Syracuse NY in August and they were all complaining on this for sure......not here though
