Hi badeye,
Yes i also love gardening. Its mainly flowers and shrubs now. I do grow lots of herbs . Strawberries in hanging baskets.
Also salad baskets. http://images.google.ie/imgres?imgurl=h … tgeF3oziDw
I was recently sent the link by Marcalan for the hanging toms ideas. thats my next task. Such a good idea.
I envy you all the good weather to grow such lovely stuff. The rains here the last few years ruined all. So the farmers market is usually my call. There set up seems to cope with the weather.
I use all kinds of ideas for my garden. Heres links to some ive used.

Your garden sculptures and other ideas are great Old Doll. I usually grow some arugula, spinach and other lettuce in a container each year too. I can even get a couple of crops by doing it that way too. And your tropical plant is the coolest! The flowers are gorgeous. Great job. 
Hope you had a great weekend!

Have any chordians come across this way of growing tatties?
Instead of planting lots of rows each plant of which will produce a few pounds, if you put a some earth in a tall container 2 - 3 feet across and put 4 seed potatoes in cover them and when the stalks come through put more earth on. keep doing this until the container is nearly full let the plants grow and die off as usual and your crop will be 200lbs and more!
Permaculture, one way to go!
Hey Kajima, I've tried that but in the ground, not in a container. Just dig a hole and keep adding dirt as they grow instead of hilling them. It's been so long that I can't remember if got more potatoes or not. But they sure were tasty. My favorite part of growing potatoes is digging out a few baby ones as the plant grows. Yum.
Well now, I'm gonna give that a go this year, two seasons ago we had potatoe bug real bad,
lost 80 % of spuds planted. Nothin like the small ones in a Hodge-Podge, so tasty. I've planted
radish already, they like the cool weather, cherry belle, be pickin in about 28 days. Had some real good sucess planting tomatoes in big planters, great to blanch em and freeze em to be used all years round. Bring on the sun.

Got 4 rows of G-90 sweet corn already in the ground and I am waiting until Good Friday to plant the rest. As the old sayin' goes "if it thunders in Febuary there will be a cold snap around that date in April". Well it thundered on Febuary 10th and we are lookin' for a frost the next 2 nights. I already got my rows made up and when the weather gets right I'll get to planting. 4 more rows of Texas Cream Peas, 4 rows of speckled butter beans, about 12 hills of straight neck squash, 6 hills of straight 8 cukes, 36 tomato plants (plus 12 more planted in homemade buckets) a few pepper plants some okra and maybe a few other things. Then, up goes the "hot fence" to keep the deer out.
