"Frugality without creativity is deprivation." This is some sheer creativity on a tight budget -- bravo! Thanks for inspiring me and reminding me I'm not alone in my "scrapping" to live in a way that makes me feel lavished. I love your resourcefulness!

What direction are these plants facing? And are they always in that shady area or do they get some (am?) sun? <em><strong>Thank you! The plants would get sun all day long if I didn't open up a big patio umbrella over them starting around noon-1PM. I should post a photo of what it looks like now, it's completely overgrown.</strong></em> Beautiful! What direction are these plants facing?

There's probably not much weeding involved. I hate weeding. Barbara actually likes to weed. I was supposed to have a vegetable garden this year but my plans didn't pan out. Well, your flowers look gorgeous. Bucket gardening is a great idea. There’s probably not much weeding involved. I hate weeding. Barbara actually likes to weed.

It gives me hope that I can garden out here! I planted my morning glories and they looked great but yesterday I came home to some landscaping landlords who inadvertantly (or maybe advertantly) pulled up all my morning glories. My one true gardening attempt was yanked out without me knowing. :( Sad. But I ought to try this bucket idea! I love your garden! It gives me hope that I can garden out here!
