the troughs have taken over the patio table! |
June 13, 2013. As you may have gathered from my March 24 entry, I've recently ventured into a new gardening endeavor: creating and planting hypertufa troughs. It will be at least another year before I can gauge how well this is going to work out, but for now, I have a nice little collection of troughs, planted with a selection of small succulents and alpines. Since I maintain pages for each of my garden areas, it was clearly time to dedicate a page to the trough collection, which now constitutes its own, albeit more portable, garden area. So here you go. I hope to update the page from time to time, showing new additions to the trough assembly (a new batch is on its way, courtesy of a flash of inspiration this weekend), and documenting the development of the plants now living in these porous containers. As I gain experience, I also hope to put together a page with some how-to information and personal experience with the hypertufa-making process. But that idea joins a long list of "things I'd like to do with this website", so don't hold your breath. |
Visitors to this page have left the following comments| Christine from Connecticut | Aug 27, 2013 | Thank you so much for this site of yours, I love it. The troughs have been on my 'to do' list of winter activities for a long time. Now that I am going to have my first plant sale at our church in the spring, this has been the inspiration I've needed to put my thoughts into action! I've been looking for something to help make our sale that much more unique, the troughs could just be the ticket! Looking forward for your 'how to' on these.
Thanks again, Christine, Connecticut |
