Just in time for Easter, hens and chicks

Hens and chicks, the succulent that is an old staple of rock gardens, gets new life in a metal basket in this how-to video by container gardening maven, Kerry Michaels.

A whole new way to think of an "Easter basket."

Kerry, who uses absolutely everything as a container for plants, also has a new take on the Easter egg. And you won't have to worry about your cholesterol.

About Susan Reimer
Susan Reimer has spent 16 years writing about raising kids - among other topics - in her column for The Baltimore Sun. And every time son Joseph or daughter Jessie passed another milestone - driver's license, college, wedding or a move to a new military duty station - she has planted another garden. Now she will be writing about those gardens - and yours - here on Garden Variety.

Susan isn't an expert gardener, but she wasn't an expert mother, either. Both - the kids and the gardens - seem to be doing well in spite of her.

She lives in Annapolis with her husband, Gary Mihoces, who loves to cut his grass but has noticed that there seems to be less of it every time the kids pass another milestone.
