Those are very pretty - I am going to do that with styrofoam easter eggs. I already bought the pastel glitters - I want to come up with that sugar egg look from years and years ago - thanks for the link.....

Just be sure to bore holes for sufficient drainage, and use potting soil. When I have tried to skimp and use garden soil it hasn't worked well. Potting soil will be fine for rootstocks for a year, but after that it is wise to consult the container forum. Also, the pots will need to be buried during the winter,

Questions about saving seeds to plant next year

I believe, with nasturtiums you just dry the seed and save it in a cool, dry location for next year. For the beans: you should shell them from their pods, dry them to the point that you can't dent the seed with a fingernail (I dry them a couple days longer than that.), seal them in an airtight container and freeze them for at least two days. Freezing will kill weevil eggs, which seem ALWAYS to be present in such seed. After two days in the freezer you can remove them and store the seed away from heat sources. Remember, when taking the seed from the freezer, not to open the container for several hours. This allows temps to equalize and avoids condensation on your seed. I once ruined a batch of beans by peeking at them before they had warmed up. It was only for a moment, and then I replaced the lid. But the following spring, when I opened the jar, all the seed had gone moldy. George

Saving plants for next year

Thanks, Donna. I want a replacement window but plastic will be fine. Water? Maybe not since the temps will be below freezing much of the time. Protect the pot a little more with staw or heavy old comforter? The SW corner of my sunroom gets a lot of light and sun in the winter, but can only get so many plants there. The two I rooted got long canes, but they're climbers anyway. I'm not arguing with you here, just weighing things. One of the downsides to it is that it throws it off its normal growing cycle especially in the extremes of climate here. Plus I harden it off in the spring. Sometimes with other plants I just wait a little longer and just take them outside.

Lynne, the Diamond Dust really looks pretty on painted wooden eggs. Don't know if it would work on styrofoam ones.

Love the way they rolled these in the glitter before they put the flowers on. Pretty idea using the cutouts from the paper.

Oddie - that wreath is so pretty - gives me another idea (like I need more stuff - lol ) thanks for yet another inspiration

Luvs - I did get a rather large jar of diamond dust from Micheals and plan to use it on some hand blown eggs that I want to paint in pastel colors. I also want to do some of the handblown ones with Victorian decoupage on them and then use the diamond dust. My Mom made some beautiful Christmas eggs in the past and I wanted to carry her tradition through to Easter eggs....
