hahaha - 15 jugs already - you're in for big trouble - it's only the beginning of December you know!! I betcha do 15-20 milk jugs per week now that you're addicted :) LOL!!!

Congrats on your jugs!!! Watcha got growing?

I haven't started yet but I plan on doing a bunch again this year. Just waiting for some free time... I have a couple hundred "must haves" on my list. No matter how hard I try to keep the list down, it just doesn't happen. I did over 600 my first year I was having so much fun. All that anticipation on top of cold, snowy days, it's sure hard to stop!

good for you Jessica! sounds like you are 'off and running'-

this will be my 5th year for w/s- I love it! I have so many wonderful plants and am always finding new ones I think I must have- LOL

I do about 100-150 containers each year- I always say I am going to cut back, but then I find something I just HAVE to have :))

I have a couple of pics in the gallery of my w/s set up-I use mostly the plastic Solo cups and margarine tubs-

Some I am looking forward to this season are:
poppy Lauren's grape
purple majesty millet
holly hocks- Rhett in Red and Cranberry Ice
some new autumn colors rudbeckia
petunias
oh, so many wonderful seeds!
I am going to do a few veggies this season-
basil
peppers
tomatoes

so glad to hear you are having fun!
keep up the good work,
best wishes,
Linda in Louisville

I also am trying my hand at this, but I am doing one jug a day. Such hard decisions which one to put out :) I have labeled them well (hopefully which will stay), and the first one I put out this year was Poppies for my husband. He has been such a big supporter of my learning of new things, and he just loves the gardens. I wonder if he will be supportive when I ask him to get the tiller out this springs for new beds!
Good luck, and have fun!

Hi Jessica and congrats on your 1st wsed containers. I have 312 + items on my list for this year. Needless to say I will be doing a bunch of HOS! (see FAQs). This year, however, I am limiting myself to 10 -12 containers on the days I ws and keeping it in the garage! 3+ months of mess in my kitchen was just too much! I learned so much last year it was just incredible! Cut yourself some slack and enjoy it, take lots of notes as they will help you next year! Good Luck!
