I call this planter “Queen Mary.” If you were to guess what the expression on her face is telling you, what would it be? Does she look serene? Demure? Bemused? You may be surprised to know that she’s actually experiencing brain freeze.
I love having a planter that looks like a person, but this one that used to belong to my mother has always been very hard to keep watered because the opening is so shallow. Whenever I tried to water it, the water would just run down the side. I mentioned it to my mom once and she said she used to use ice cubes which would slowly melt in. It’s brilliant!
That’s my first and probably my last gardening tip on this blog. I’m not generally known for my green thumb. Plants under my care have to be able to tolerate a fair amount of neglect.
I’ll probably delete this in the morning unless Queen Mary objects to the ice cube treatment by saying “We are not amused.”
