Hi! Welcome to my Momcrieff blog! I’m so glad you stopped by. I blog about simple recipes and I love gardening. I’m not a great gardener but know lots of people who are. They allow me to photograph their garden creations and flower planters and then I get to share them with you!
My neighbors and friends have a green thumb! Many green thumbs! Their hard work deserves to be shared. Take a look at what they have done to brighten up their outdoor spaces. It makes my efforts look feeble but I’ll keep on trying :). Let me show you their pretty planters – they are just delightful to look at!
Amy’s pretty planter by her walkway
Don’t you just love the gorgeous green of Amy’s sweet potato vine in her planter? Every year her vine look gorgeous!
Another planter of Amy’s on her back deck.
Some people are not only good at putting a planter together, but at staging it as well! I’m on the lookout for a cut log now. I’m in love with the way this planter has been featured in Diane’s backyard!

And oh, the pretty window boxes I’ve seen!
Angie’s gorgeous window-box.
And another one:

About two minutes from my house is a local restaurant. I have stopped to admire the flowers (red geraniums) numerous times! I’ve actually thought about asking how they keep their geraniums blooming so profusely all summer long.
Window boxes of geraniums. Gorgeous!
Here’s a closer look at them:
Geraniums!
I get so envious when I see these. Mine don’t do nearly as well.
On the other wall, another type of geraniums are growing in the window boxes.

Boy, am I glad I chanced upon your blog! I loved looking at all the gorgeous planters featured here. Yes, and I love your witty writing, too! So you are ‘on the lookout for a cut log’, eh? But do you have a rock??
Thank you! I loved how my friend did that so I did something similar at my house.
using the red bench with the planters looks just awesome 🙂
It’s actually never been a concern in our neighborhood. However, I have put together planters for my husbands office and I know the staff were betting on whether they would be there on the next Monday or not. I personally would plant my plants in the ground if there was a serious threat of my planters being stolen. The planter and the plants cost too much for that to happen! If one was stolen, there probably wouldn’t be a second : (.
I’m not trying to be funny, but how do you prevent people from stealing those from you? Especially the ones by the front door…it is that an issue in my neighborhood? LOL (while crying)!
I want to move to your neighborhood so I can enjoy all the beautiful flowers.
These are gorgeous planters. Will definitely try some of those combos. Hope I can choose the right plants for our hot SC summers. My front porch gets most of summer sun.
Susan, these are soooooo LOVELY!! Wonderful inspiration…I’m a planter lover too and these have given me some great ideas. I especially love the window boxes…oh, the colors!!! Had to pin it (;
Beautiful! I wish I had a green thumb. Unfortunately, I’m stuck with a black one! 🙂
