Four backyard garden photos.

I tried growing ornamental cabbages in pots on the table - don't know if I would do it again since it dries out so fast and the cabbage has a longer root these small pots couldn't accomodate.
In the bottom pic I grew the hens and chicks in a garden saucer. These need little to no water since they are somewhat of a fleshy plant.

  2. Zaa, thanks for stopping by and all your kind words. The cabbages are called "Ornamental Cabbages" - they don't form a head and look more like a big flower don't they!
