waterlilysage's concrete area garden

Garden Type: Container | Sun: Full Sun | Soil: Potting Mix I'm Organic!

lots of containers. lots of herbs and fleurs and vines and experiments. trying for perennials. giddy over dirt. technically a concrete cube in deep south philly, but i’m aiming to soften it up. this will be my third season and some things have come back over the winter, some things, not so much. we’ll see.
