    Container designs are the way to go this time of the year. It helps get over the withdrawal of gardening. I have 3 pots on my front porch and I look at them every day. So anxious to dig in the dirt and get my hands dirty. Thanks for showing the beautiful containers.

    Thank you for sharing this video your container will look really pretty at the flower 🌸 show. It wood nice if you came back to Ct. I had the pleasure of meeting you at VINNYS NURSERY 205 GARDEN HOME book signing and the lines were out the door but it was a fun day.😊

    Gorgeous! I am so going to steal these ideas! Ha-ha! I'll get all the credit!

    Your containers will be lovely for the show. Thank you for the inspiration to get something going early in the season. Loved the "give me a break " phrase regarding those claiming that they can't style a container or even plant one. We all need a reality check from time to time.

    I love those large terra cotta containers. The idea of grouping three together to form a triangle, then setting a planter on top to make one tall arrangement, is brilliant! Allen, thanks for that idea! Have you ever used Dinosaur Kale in your floral arrangements? I'm just curious.

  8. Rubidia Umanzor

    You're great and I've enjoyed watching your videos. 2019 has been my first year gardening and your videos have been lovely.

    OMG – I always look to you Allen for container ideas (I have your 2005 container recipe book). This demonstration is perfect! It’s April now and I’m sure these containers in the video are in full glory – I hope you’ll share the results with us! This channel and your work are so comforting at this scary time, thank you for letting us see the beautiful gardens you create.

    Container plants for apartment balconies, shade? Any thoughts for beginners? Thanks.

    Wow! Great idea to use swiss chard & luv the idea of the 6 inch pot of tulips! I will try this out next spring!
