| Cool idea, Lisa! |

| Very creative! Did you drill holes in the bottom of the canoe? |

| I Like! Your perennials are large! |
|
| Love it! I am so jealous of creative people... I feel like I am "thinking outside the box" when I plant in HOS's in circles instead of rows!!!!!! That canoe is going to look so cool. Please take "progress photos" to share. I am hoping you plant plants that cascade a bit on the edges. |
|
| I love the idea. Don't forget the dirt is going to settle, so you may need to make the level a little higher. Can't wait to see pictures of it mature. |
|
| Very cool! And a great way to make yourself extra garden space. |
|
| Thanks everybody - I did drill holes in the bottom with my dremel; was quite easy. I also put the soil in, watered it, and then topped it off, so hopefully not too much more settling. The plants around the edges; should hopefully cascade over.. eventually! I was really excited about this one! |
|
| Very Nice! What a great idea! What plants? Please post pics as it matures! Shirley! |
|
| What a wonderful idea! :) Please tell us about what plants have you chosen. |

| The Canoe is finished - pictures updated with details on the plants. The details are listed on the last few plants with the canoe divided into 3rd's. Not sure how it will end up looking; but I was real excited to finish - and.. excited :) |
