Hey, It's only July!
You may think that this is high summer, but that doesn't mean that we don't have three-plus months of growing season ahead of us still. If you haven't put out a planter or watered a windowbox, get going!
Ikea has a great outdoor gardening section and we like their pots and planters particularly. They are cheap, durable enough to play a good supporting role to your plants and come in LOTS of different sizes.
While the store will carry more, here's a roundup of what's online. MGR
- GRO: $1.50 for three
- ODLA: $3 each
- ODLA: Flowerbox Holder $10 each
- HUSON: $20 - this is 20" high and a favorite....
- HINK: $3 each

The garden decorations visible in the first picture ( basically a large, black acorn shaped thing and a large almond shape) were on sale at Ikea New Haven for $1 apiece! We bought a bunch for use in the house, as well as a great little clay figurine for our plot in the community garden. Ikea has great garden and summer outdoor stuff -- but hurry, they are basically selling it all off now.
PS for NY area folks -- if you haven't been, the New Haven store is much more together that the Elizabeth store we all know and love.
