School planters (Sept 26)

It was that time of the year again - to help with the beautification of the boys' school planters.  Another mom helps me with this thankfully, to tackle all 6 planters.  This is what we had collected for the Fall:

I think it turned out quite lovely!  We decided to use tomato cages to give it some height:

I do need to try and pin those to the soil better for the next planting.  Almost every visit to the school and the tomato cage was knocked over by the wind!

I couldn't help myself but grab this fella for one of the planters :-)

Our Christmas tree from last year lives on!!  I'm so happy.  We were suppose to give all of them away but for whatever reason, the pot for this one disappeared.  So I decided to plant it in one of the planters instead. Some solar lights to spark it up a bit :-D

We will be converting everything to Winter Planting after Thanksgiving.  Might continue to use those tomato cages.  I have a few ideas up my sleeve, plus all the leftover birch branches from last year.  Should be fun!
