Containers on creekside
« on: June 18, 2013, 04:43:27 PM »
Always like to put containers out and around the yard, but with high winds and salt water spray blooming has been retarded.  However, I'm trying red crimson this year and it seems to be doing well.  This is perched on a tree I had to cut down since erosion had completely exposed the tap root and was starting to lean toward my pier.

It looks really good there Gary! We have been making some changes to the patio here, photo's soon to follow. Still need to paint the other side of the deck. We are heading into a week of rain so it will have to wait.

Perfect spot for your pot & lily.

There is never enough room for all of the water lilies that I want ;-)

Looks great! Does your creek get high enough in a flood to wash it away?

Sean, I still maintain you get the most out of every square inch of any gardener I know and I'm sure the new pain job will look great!   Matherfish the pot is below the 100 year flood, but that will be the least of my worries if we get one...normal high tide is ~ 4' below.

I think that would be a neat think to see if floating down the river in a canoe :)
My next female cat will be called "Whata Lily"!

Thanks Lorenzo, GTN I do get a lot of comments from kayakers from the state park that is on the other side of my creek.  Surprisingly the waterman that bait and catch soft shell crabs also commented on it too as well as a lot of jetskiers.
