I don't think I purchased any planting containers. Oh, and I asked all the teachers at the kid's school to save containers for me, too. It wasn't long before I had way too many.

I don't and I'm not ready to put it in right now, so that made the decision for me.Jordanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05712893867575841432noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6138859409301308693.post-85726352968927177762010-03-22T17:05:27.894-04:002010-03-22T17:05:27.894-04:00Sparkless-

We have teenagers, so we run out of hot water..usually my shower. ;o(Karen Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18189370281390432351noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6138859409301308693.post-5162822700491777622010-03-22T16:05:22.392-04:002010-03-22T16:05:22.392-04:00If you are going to use electricity you should loo...If you are going to use electricity you should look into getting one of those on demand ones. You won't have a huge tank of hot water sitting around and you only heat the water you need when you need it. Makes much more sense financially and environmetally.Sparklesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02806553694200529082noreply@blogger.com
