Re: Spring is here!
Here is more! Most of these are in containers. The minis & dwarfs are all in those 5 section concrete blocks. DH & I used to have book shelves with the blocks as dividers, with glass shelves on them. Now they have been to a better use for little hosta!

Re: Spring is here!
Looking great Elizabeth! What a great idea for the concrete blocks, is it one block with five sections? I'm having a hard time picturing it.

Re: Spring is here!
Here are some more minis!
- Frosted Mouse Ears made it thru the winter!
- Cat and Mouse has great substance!
- Hush Puppie almost made it in the food garden, but I figured it had a better chance away from the voles!
