i'm still pretty well set on the mint idea. i'm just waiting for the mint to grow some before i try it.
temp hanging spot for me to work with it. for the moment i'm thinking if i get it together it will hang in my gazebo project when i get it (and the gazebo) a little more done
and trying to grow the mint
the little pots are some leftover seeds from another project, and the larger pots are from where i got some more a couple weeks later (a 4 seed variety pack someone on ebay sells for about $5).
so the hope is once the plants get an inch or so high (not sure exactly), they'll be easy enough to work with. i mean to try and get them root and all out of the little pots and stick the root through the bottom holes, and fill in from the top to hold them there. then just work my way up as the plants get the right size to transplant. i don't mean to try and fill all the holes, but hopefully enough to give it a filled out look.
so i'm just waiting on the mint.
It looks pretty cool now that you showed it actually hung up. It's going to look lovely when all the plants start growing out of it. I hope you'll post photos when you're done planting in it. I think you made a good find there. It's an interesting pot.
