Comments (10)This lady on the hypertufa site (on this garden web) has three video that gives the instructions to a T They are called draping pots and it is done by soaking cloth in a cement mixture about gravy consistency. I tried a few more today and used an old blanket but I found the flannelette sheets cut up worked way better and not so heavy. I am not sure what I will put into them or maybe just leave them empty. Possibly the easiest would be to put a planting pot inside? Heck, I never thought that far ahead lol This is the site if I copied it correctly . Sure is a fun thing to do http://www.thehypertufagardener.com/revisit-draped-hypertufa-planter/...See Moresome pictures from my garden

Comments (33)A family member planted some Rosemary that has also been doing well. It grew very fast. The Rosemary plant here actually has a few little purple flowers on it right now, even though it's the middle of Winter. I didn't think anything of it at first, since we have a kind of modified Medditerranean-style climate and of course the rosemary would do well in the dry summers, but then I read an article that stated rosemary is a plant many people want to grow but can't because it doesn't survive cold Winters well. Excerpt from article from Washington Post, For some Washington-area gardeners, paradise lost : ___________________________________________________ But the warm years convinced many they were in a Carolinian Zone 8, a perception borne out by their ability to grow gardenias, hardier palms, perennials from Mexico and eucalyptus trees. "I can't remember having a back-to-back winter this cold," said Joe Luebke, director of horticulture and grounds at the Washington National Cathedral. The winter before last, he and his colleagues struggled to wrap blankets around signature rosemary plants in the Bishop's Garden that had grown into mature, aromatic shrubs. They perished and were replaced with new bushes that have also died. "We got a little complacent about shifting hardiness zones," said Larry Hurly, of Behnke Nurseries in Beltsville, Md. The most damage was evident last spring, though echoes of it abound in this one. Plants such as rosemaries and sages were killed outright; others such as figs and hydrangeas, died to the ground and resprouted. In his home garden in Warrenton, Va., he saw dieback in Southern magnolias and crape myrtles. Maryland gardeners, from Bethesda to Mount Airy, say they lost rose bushes, a problem rarely encountered here since the 1970s. _____________________________________________ It is kind of ironic that plants that died off in Washington D.C. are doing just fine in Washington state....See Moreken_adrian Adrian MI cold Z5
