It’s finally summer! The bees are buzzing the sun is shining, and in DC the humidity is steaming and mosquitos biting. Frizzy hair and blood-suckers aside, this year, I am determined to have some sort of little container garden on my front porch, so I’ve been collecting some inspiration.

We don’t have space or a roof for a swinging sofa, but how awesome would that be?

I really like pots cascading down the stairs…just not the green orbs.
