We've had something different every year in the flower cart my dad built for us as a housewarming gift. We scaled back this year and planted sparsely, but I'm pleased with the fact that the pansies are still thriving and the coleus is finally getting big. A fun surprise: we saved the "spuds" from the sweet potato vine we had in pots last year, not sure if it would come up or not. It's coming in beautifully and helping to fill out the pot. We're eager for it to start trailing out of the pot, as the cart looks nicer with something spilling over.

My goodness!! You have lots blooming!! I love sedum too, and thanks to Brady nursery 1/2 price sales. .have got quite a collection going too. .not sure I knew there were so many different varieties of hen and chicks! Love the flower carts. .and am also glad to know that you used leftover sweet potato vines. .I bought a black one this year, so I will try to remember to dig him up and save his tater!! Thanks for the info!
I love the black sweet potato vine, and we had one of those, too, but so far only the green ones have come up. But boy, they are going to town! I'll have to post a photo, and will let you know if the black ones ever come up. Yay on those 1/2 price sales! I'm wanting to fill another long planter with petunias on the back deck.
BTW. .I cracked up out loud to see your comment on the shower saga!! The whole project has turned into a saga. .and I finally got pictures snapped last night. Will have the post done by Wed!! Be sure to check back. .it turned out great!
