Planter with Kale
This planter was created on the spot, in the ground, and is about four feet across. We began by digging a bowl shaped hole and then filled in the shape of the planter with a mixture of concrete and peat moss. This allows the planter to absorb a certain amount of water and become more mossy as time goes by. It was then pried up out of the ground and hosed off and filled with potting soil.
The mixture of annuals used here reflects the garden after the first couple of frosts. Flowering kale, dusty miller and alyssum all look good after cold weathr has taken most of the annuals we plant. They eventually fade ass winter takes it's toll but sometimes the dusty miller which is an artemisia, survives the winter and gets new growth in the Spring. But don't count on it!
