In the Nick of Time: Winter Pot!

Here ’s a tone by stone’s throw on how I made a pretty deluxe , really cheap , quick winter pot .

First , I ripped out the summer annuals , which were still alive for some reason . It ’s gotten down to 16 arcdegree for peat ’s rice beer !

Using the existing soil , I dug hole with my pruners for these skanky old pieces of birch I ’ve had lie around . Then I added a whole 2 piece of really nice silver fir that I scavenged from body of work .

From there , I add a stack of curt piece of ashen pine to fill it in . It ’s flash and has corking apparent motion . I hate winter batch that count all frustrated and stick - straight .

Once it was all pine tree - y , I impart the rightfully luxe oregonia , 2 bundle of it . Pricey , but it makes all the difference ! Then I popped in some baccate juniper and decide it was move to involve more height .

In true Kiss My Aster ! fashion , I occur to have a lot of black paint sprig laying around , so I tot up some of those , along with some peacock plume .

And , of row , a lil ’ Inachis io . I purchase 5 of them for this heap but when I put all 5 in , well , that looked like Las Vegas at night . This works because now I have one for my wreath , too .

Do you like where the Inachis io is place ? I sense like I could n’t quite make it work …
