I highly recommend it! If you choose to use it, I hope you will too. BTW no longer available here in the US in oil-based paint, only acrylic, so don't know how the "new" paint holds up to the elements... Thanks for your comment.

Pardon a late comment on this post. ...Dear Reggie,<br /><br />Pardon a late comment on this post. I just bought a house with a lovely established garden and two lovely urns. They don't match, so will go in different areas of the garden. They're now painted white, which is all wrong. Your color is ideal. Is there a hint of green in it? Thank you for giving me the paint color I need!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8044541580633294348.post-26120985816453046362011-01-06T12:05:35.185-05:002011-01-06T12:05:35.185-05:00Oh I do love your home.

Also, every year I replant a scarlet bougainvillea in a pot with a trellis. One of these days I hopefully will not kill the poor plant.SKY PRINCESShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08754246852792388695noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8044541580633294348.post-17282959573862035452010-03-05T13:49:23.168-05:002010-03-05T13:49:23.168-05:00My urns are filled with the desire to be your urns...My urns are filled with the desire to be your urns!Patsyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02840629057159581688noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8044541580633294348.post-20601446028577311662010-01-17T17:44:39.731-05:002010-01-17T17:44:39.731-05:00Hello LPC: most amusing!

Perhaps some branches from the woods, artfully arranged? Perhaps other readers might have better suggestions.Reggie Darlinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04044215790585354363noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8044541580633294348.post-76922745019075062872010-01-17T07:35:10.065-05:002010-01-17T07:35:10.065-05:00Now Reggie, I have no answer to YOUR question, I w...Now Reggie, I have no answer to YOUR question, I was going to ask YOU what to plant.<br />We live in Zone 4, Upper Midwest/Great Lakes area - 2 weeks ago, emptied the porch containers of holiday foliage & folly (greenery, fruits & pinecones) now must fill 'em up for the duration of the dreadfully brisk next couple months.<br />What to do, these empties look dreary and we need a shot of razzle or at the least, a sign of life!!<br />Thank you in advance.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8044541580633294348.post-90963521139274276892010-01-16T20:46:19.512-05:002010-01-16T20:46:19.512-05:00It looks as if the grounds are the perfect complem...It looks as if the grounds are the perfect complement to Darlington House! I have the same urns on my brick front porch/stoop on a Federal city house (only yards from the sidewalk, so no lovely approach like yours.) We fitted our urns with conical topiary forms and planted creeping wire vine, which I love. I change the annuals around the base. We have only been here three years, but my favorite combination with the vine has been red and dark pink impatiens in the summer. The urns are painted Charleston Green, which to be authentic is nine parts black, one part yellow or light green. However, I've been quite happy with the Sherwin Williams equivalent. I'm enjoying your blog so much!Town and Country Househttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00842299632895569707noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8044541580633294348.post-84792471568937532532010-01-16T19:04:08.391-05:002010-01-16T19:04:08.391-05:00I'm short on urns out here in California.

I am hoping you will plant zucchini one summer. Now that's the sign of a season.LPChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18209861350905135093noreply@blogger.com
