A Big Stack of Garden Books Came in Today

I spent about 45 minutes briefly going through them all when I got home from work.

I have to say I was not all that impressed with any of them.  I will spend more time going through the PASmith book, but I doubt if I will  look further into the others. 

I was quite excited to get the G*ar*den J*unk book, but I found nothing new that I would want to do.  My favorite was this:

Cute, cute, cute! But I have already done this, so it was nothing new to me.
Most of the other containers just looked like JUNK to me....who would plant anything outside in cardboard containers?

After the first rain, they would be ruined.

Yogurt containers?

I think it just looks like you planted in a container that you pulled from the garbage.

Am I being harsh?

I love to plant in junk I have found at garage sales.  But I really like the junk to look like "junque".  In other words, I want it to look nice.  Here is a photo from a few years ago on my deck where I have planted junk (junque?) containers:

Personally, I think these containers look good. . . perhaps I am delirious....maybe to others my"junque" containers look like c*rap (pardon the expression), like I feel the majority of the containers in that book looked.

I have a pretty thick skin, so feel free to tell me the truth.

Hope you are all having a great Thursday evening!
