  1. How To Stop #Chipmunks From Digging In Your #Planters Once And For All

    "Chipmunks are really darn cute. Who doesn’t love to watch them darting around the garden? That is, until they start digging holes everywhere and uprooting your favorite plants. Container plants are especially vulnerable to damage from chipmunks. They can’t resist digging in the soft, bare soil, popping your plants out of the pots in the process. Often, they just want to bury nuts, but chipmunks also nibble on bulbs and foliage.

    If chipmunks are digging in every planter on your deck, we have solutions that can save your flowers. Try these five methods to stop chipmunks from digging in your containers."

    Here are the five suggestions:

    1. Cage Your Plants

    2. Cover Your Soil (with rocks)

    3. Surprise them with stakes (yikes!)

    4. Spray Repellent (urine, cayenne pepper spray)

    5. Clean up your yard (perish the thought!)

  2. Every August I take a Sunday morning photography walk around downtown Lewistown to photograph our beautiful planters. The Heroin Capital of the East Coast has never looked so good. #community #planters #communityproject #lewistown #downtown #plants #flower #flowers #bloom

  3. I love surprises. This #plant was almost dead when I got it from the lady who gave me the 2 rectangular #planters last year and said she had problem keeping it alive.

    I changed the pot, added some home made #compost to it last summer and now she is full of pretty #flowers.

  4. Lewistown may have once been dubbed "the Heroin Capital of the Eastern Seaboard," but our downtown sure looks sharp nowadays, since volunteers have been maintaining beautiful flower planters on every corner. #lewistown #planters #publicspaces #flowers #garden #gardening

  5. Just been making Mrs Mottistone a replacement planter for the front garden, to replace the existing one which has succumbed to time and the elements. At 180 x 30 x 60 cm, this will be seriously heavy (~ 150 kg) when filled and has got some heavy duty supports and wheels underneath. Now ready for painting. #Planters #Gardens #ContainerGardens

  6. Hard afternoon in the garden, mowing the lawns (where it isn't to wet), pruned and cleaned most of the pots, planted Buxus in two rustic plant pots, cut back and cleaned the hellebores, admired shooting plants and early colours, before heading inside to read and get ideas on what I'm doing tomorrow

  7. This year I decided to re-use plastic containers as planters instead of buying new ones.
    Meet my neighbor Totoros :artpeek:
    I used acrylic colours for this (multiple coats). And added a thin layer of varnish for durability.
