I never thought about actually doing container gardening for the winter… maybe a few pots would be left from the summer with straggly plants inside, but that was about it! Until I went to Big Bloomers in Sanford, N.C. for a presentation on winter containers. I'm hooked! See my blog post for specific plants I used.
Here's the beginning! Get your materials ready, place the pots in container for space planning… I use potting soil, but others say to only use topsoil for winter containers. What do you think?
Here it is, week one.
I'm using these terra cotta planters; taking a chance that they won't crack in the winter...
Love this blue one by the front door.
Enjoyed the project?

Douglas Hunt on Dec 04, 2014I don't think you should ever use topsoil in a container. Hopefully you will not have many freeze and thaw cycles and your pretty planters (love that blue one) will make it through.
