Hello Duncecaps

Orostachys furusei doing its pointy September thing.

I love this plant for its pure oddness.

Round Troughs

About a month ago, I cast a pair of these 16"w x 9"h troughs for my friend Noel.  The 2"h feet are separate, of course.

The troughs are cast around a 12"w x 7"h piece of sonotube filled with sand.  I cast them upside-down.

I used the hammer drill to make some drainage holes once they were cured.

And yes, it rained a couple inches this week and cooled off about 10 degrees.  

I cast a couple more large troughs yesterday and planted some mums in the garden today.  I'm back!
