Today ’s pic is fromMichael Larkinin Harrisburg , Pennsylvania . He say , “ This container was hand-crafted using hypertufa . I have made raft of hypertufa containers , but this is by far one of the nicest , and the good part is that its final build resulted because of an “ oops . ” During the unmolding , while the tufa was still a little fragile , part of the side wall break . Disappointed at first , I take on out my trowel and started to carve up the remaining calc-tufa to the shape it is in now . I cue myself each prison term I front at this container that gardening is not always perfect , that we want to work out with what have , and who know – it may just turn out to be really great . ” Thanks , Michael , for sharing this with us !
The plants in this container include:‘Elfin ’ thyme ( Thymus serphyllum‘Elfin ’ , USDA Hardiness Zones 4 - 9)Sedum ( Sedum dasyphyllum , Zones 3 - 7)Hens and chicks ( Sempervivumspp . and cvs . , Zones 4 - 11)Dwarf hinoki cypress ( Chamaecyparis obtusa‘Nana ’ , zona 4 - 8)
