Months, no rain, weeks, 100f, without a goodbye, cold.

Quickly, pots luxuriating all summer outside, now inside.

No drama, no worries where those pots would be placed.

Got the memo first seeing this table/pots. And a new Garden Design Rule. You must have a pretty table, inside, to be ruined with potted plants.

Beloved, with great concern, "You're damaging the table." Me, with a smile from the heart, "I know."
.
Of course I made sure to use a table I had bought at a thrift store, solid mahogany, dropleaf, gateleg, ca. 1940's.

So, do you already have a table to ruin, or heading to thrift store today?

Aside from childish glee in setting pots to table inside, humbled by the layer of beauty and joy they bring to what had already been thought a pretty room. Whoa, missed a layer? Bigly.

That lovely room really wouldn't be the same minus those pots of plants in the window. I love the laciness of the foliage. And the blue Chinese vase behind them. I didn't take potted plants outside this summer so none to bring in and this year I didn't bring inside big pots of herbs that usually take up floor space in front of the few sunny windows we have here. I did bring a beautiful amaryllis out of hibernation in a dark closet, trimmed and cleaned it up and set in the sink to water--hundreds of aunts ran out, carrying eggs (I guess it was) out with them. I used to have as many as 8 pots of amaryllis at a time put in my closets to bring out and never had ant nests in them! I know they're God's creatures but I'd prefer they didn't live in my house.
I need a bigger table. I can't bear to kiss those geraniums goodbye yet.
Oh I love it. Yes, ruin the table with the plants...life is too short not to.
Love, Mona
Wonderful ideas for landscaping. Thanks.
Oh, the tables I have "ruined"!
