Porta Potty

Yesterday I was reflecting on the fact that 2 weeks ago we had flooding. 1 week ago we had high heat and humidity. This week a slow moving low pressure system provided dark skies and below normal temperatures all week.What a difference a week makes here in Michigan! That’s why I think one of the beauties of container gardening is the versatility containers provide in the landscape. I call the art “Porta Potty” because if frost is in the forecast, drag it in the garage. If heavy rain and a storm is forecast, drag it under a overhang. If heat and wind are drying it out, slide the container to a more protected area. This kind of Porta Potty smells good and will keep you “occupied” all summer long!
