I like how folks beautify the tree boxes in their front yards. You see some great porcelain ones from time to time. This is the first metal one I’ve encountered. Truth be told I think I prefer the porcelain ones better. But of course I respect the hell out of the gesture. Do you have a preference?


Here’s another good example of people planting something in their stone walls.


This mini weeping cherry tree may look a little sad, but it is the only thing in five years that I have successfully planted. So rejoice with me. What’s the most successful thing that you’ve been able to plant?


Plant a rose bush. Sure I had my two prize tomatoes eaten by a bastard squirrel or other such animal. Sure my cucumbers never even sprouted. Sure my peppers simply laughed at me. Well, plant a rose bush and you’ll still get some joy. They look great and don’t get eaten by animals!
