It is time to get a little creative! I have lots of to-do projects but I'm not interested in a painting project, especially on such a hot summer-like day. I want to create something pretty...use my resources at hand and not spend a lot of money. I have a few mixed sedum pots sitting for sale at the shop! So I grabbed this one...
and this one....

That was easy...but now for the tricky part. My idea is to make log tree planter with the sedums. It gets tricky because I need to get my husband to hollow out the logs!. So...I first gathered a bunch of greenish, dry logs from our wood pile and put on my bestest smile. Believe it or not...he liked the idea. A few hours later "we" had the logs hollowed out. I grabbed a few bags a topsoil that I snagged at an estate sale for 25cents each (!!) and drilled a few holes in each log for drainage. Then I carefully pulled the sedums into sections, placed them into the logs and gave them a good soaking.
Viola...the Garden Sedum Log!

The sedums will get fat and fluffy and spill over the sides! I'm making more - it's so easy and therefore very rewarding...I'm off to hunt for some more logs and maybe a tree stump or two!
Happy Gardening!
