I was so inspired by the photo of bamboo hydroponics that I had to share it.
The photo is for inspiration only, there are no tutorials.

What a cool and unusual succulent arrangement in a meat grinder for inspiration!
Look at yard sale and flea market items in a new way :)

Spectacular container garden arrangements
Container Garden News is one of my new favorite gardening websites. Not that I needed too much convincing, but I am really loving planting container gardens rather than planting in the ground.
I'm totally in love with the container in the photo. Since red is my favorite color, the shades of red and purple in the container are so strikingly beautiful and immediately caught my eye. Usually, I will incorporate red into my container plantings by painting the containers red, but the beauty of this container has convinced me to try a combination of red leafed plants and red flowering plants. The Captain surprised me with gorgeous caladiums with red centers that will work perfectly!
The photo comes from the website Power Flowers. Click here to check out the website.

Future posts will definitely feature more container gardening inspiration and I hope to include my new creations soon!

Small Garden Inspiration
Even though The Captain and I have a large property with way too many future projects, we decided to start in the Carport Jungle. Now that our tomatoes, peppers and herbs are on their way, it is time for us to concentrate on landscape design.
Even if you have a large area that needs landscaping, start small or you may overwhelm yourself. I speak from experience! Better to concentrate on a small area at a time rather than nothing because of overwhelm. It is something I have a problem with in every area of my life . . . overwhelm!
One of my favorite things to do is browse the internet for some garden inspiration. Love the small garden in the photo, which is from the Fine Gardening website, sent in by one of their readers Lily Jacobi. Love the layering on different levels and the use of container gardening along with the visual pleasing rocks.
I've always loved container gardening versus hard landscaping. The problem is that when my first husband passed away and I neglected the massive gardens on the property, the container plants grew out of control and took root into the ground. Anyway, tackling that problem is a future project! This year, The Captain and I have been transplanting our grown seedlings into containers since we could not decide on exactly where to put what.

Our Paradise . . . past photos and some inspiration
The gardening season has arrived in Florida and The Captain and I are still cleaning up, making plans and repotting plants for the new garden.
We plan on making our own pavers out of concrete and painting them as I have done in the past . . . although the paths are still there from the past garden design, there are many areas of the garden that have not been paved and we are planning many little paved patio areas.
Here are photos of our Paradise in the past, before freezing winters killed most everything and neglect took over . . . it was like a lush tropical resort . . . but we are planning bigger and better things for our Paradise this year.
The Captain has finished the fence and the property is now completely private! What a great start to the new season and the new Paradise :)
Our Paradise Past
I've been getting design inspiration from so many gardeners in Bloggerville. Kathleen's garden is one of them. I love the lushness of the plantings she has selected for the backdrop and the deck portion is so inviting. To see more of her garden, click here.
