Because gardeners love to look at other people's gardens, let me introduce Keith Phelps, manager of Country Farm & Home Gift and Garden Center in Mifflinburg, Pa. Keith practices what he preaches...and what he sells. These are pictures from his home.

Hi, I'm Keith Phelps.  We specialize in container gardening and have for the past 10 years.  I enjoy gardening at home as well and have tested lots of plants and products over the past years.  The Pamela Crawford Side Planting System from the Kinsman Company is one of the most unique planting systems on the market right now.  

The system is really easy to use, planting on the sides and the top of the containers with larger 3-inch and 4-inch plants, giving you instant results. The squared off shape holds a tremendous amount of soil and water which keeps your plants happy and healthy for the entire season. 

 In the photos I have used the side plant window boxes, column planters and basket on a column planter for large pots. I really enjoy working with the products both as a professional and as a gardener. 

Plant selection varies from year to year in our containers but some of my favorites are Solar Coleus, Upright Fushia, Sweet Potato Vine, Supertunias, Superbells, Diamond Frost Euphorbia, Bidens and new this year are the "BIG" Begonias which have performed even better than expected!

My wife and I really enjoy our little piece of paradise and hope that sharing these photos with you will encourage you to do a little planting in your corner of the world!
