Vertical and succulent Gardening..

[Deedee]

My new project for 2014. I have been researching and buying, I can't wait

Bought these last August, mine are brown tho..



Some pics ive downloaded for ideas..












And Some succulents im intending to use, in pots and on walls i hope. Under my Awning should be a good spot..

Flapjack i believe..





Stumbled on this a couple of days ago, WOW. The Whalebone Vertical Garden..

Any of you thought about Vertical Gardening? It would be great to exchange ideas etc.

I had thought about it until i realised i had no available wall space and i could not plant tree ferns in them
on a honest note i have thought about how to build vertical gardens on a small scale but i don't like the container ideas i have seen.

I dont think there's a big enough wall to plant a TF Rob. I only have 2 walls, one is a fence behind my compost bins and the house wall which my Awning is attatched, Im determined this year to give it a go and to allso have more succulents..

EDIT, i want more TFs as well

Kinda toying with the idea of drain/guttering gardening this year.Purely salad,everbearing strawberries etc,yum yum!

I have seen this type of gardening before, they look brill,

I have loads of fence room. 8ft at one border and four ft at the side of the back gate.

This year I want a waspinator so I can enjoy the garden.

wow deedee they are some really inspiring pictures
I have been thinking about a living wall for some time now but were I want it is a bit shady so no succulents however I do have some room on the current patio for some of those picture frame things

Those pictures really make you wish spring was here already! I'm without walls though so I I'll have to try baskets hanging from trees.

Great Call, ive said for 2 year im going to get hub to make me a couple of frames but didnt! im gonna try this year for certain. ferns and Huchera would look good on a shady wall and im sure loads more plants that i can't think of at the min

I don't like to many containers .But I like some of the living wall ideas .Succulents look good but you need winter storage . I find the succulents addictive you just want more of them .I had to cut back for space .

And These would look amazing in a basket hanging from my Pergola..

You can smarten up wooden pallets, hang them on the wall and slot pots in them. I've seen some on fb, pininterest I think it was.
