Folks..I ordered some back issues of Fine Gardening magazine on Monday, and they were delivered today..they were issues that were published in 2003 and 2004..and still only what I'd pay on the newstand, at my grocery store, or my drug store. Either they have them left over in a warehouse or they quickly reprinted them, the magazines look right off the press. Of Course, there was a shipping charge but only $3.50 for all 3 magazines. Back in 2003 and 2004, the issues seem to be more pages..So if you feel the need or want any back issues, look on their website. There is a category "Back Issues" on left side of your monitor page. Scan down each issue and it will give the index of the articles in each issues. I'm impressed! Sometimes the public library will save about a year's worth of back issues but they don't have room for more than that, but you can only borrow the library's copies..I bought these.

Anything you can set a pot on will serve as a starting point. I've used milk crates, old chairs, numerous tables, baker's rack, overturned pots (not too sturdy in high winds), sawhorse, stumps, logs, bricks, edging pavers, cinderblocks, and of course actual plant stands. Enough plants can cover whatever you're using if it is unattractive. Maybe some spray paint.

The fact that you posted this in the foliage forum hopefully makes this comment somewhat redundant, but I would use variegated plants almost exclusively with of lots of otherwise interesting trailing fillers - sweet potato vine, nasturtiums, calibrachoa, tahitian bridal (Gibasis geniculata), any zebrinas.

Have fun with your magazines. Last move I decided 2 boxes of old garden magazines weren't worth the effort & man I miss them now!
