If we had no winter, the spring would not be so pleasant; if we did not sometimes taste of adversity, prosperity would not be so welcome. Anne Bradstreet

And if men come unto me I will show unto them their weakness. I give unto men weakness that they may be humble; and my grace is sufficient for all men that humble themselves before me; for if they humble themselves before me, and have faith in me, then will I make weak things become strong unto them. Ether 12:27

Yea, all things which come of the earth, in the season therof, are made for the benefit and the use of man, both to please the eye and to gladden the heart; Yea, for food and for raiment, for taste and for smell, to strengthen the body and to enliven the soul. And it pleaseth God that he hath given all these things unto man; for unto this end were they made to be used, with judgment, not to excess, neither by extortion. D&C 59:18-20

Staying on the patio

I had thought to put a row of tubs in front of the patio, but I decided against that because of the tree fiasco.  I didn't want them to say I could, and then to say I can't and have to move those heavy tubs.

I thought I would put 8 on mine, and one on Vicky's and one on Betty's patios.  That would cause some problems watering and taking care of.

Then I resolved to put all 10 tubs, and possible one tote, on my own patio, and just work around the tight spacing.  I have six on the front edge, and then 2 on each back side of the patio.  I also have room for one tote on the southern half of the back of my patio.  Depends whether I do a bucket-irrigation drip-system, a hose-drip system, or 2-liter bottle drip system.  I haven't decided on the watering method yet.
