thanks for the great compliments - all the work you see in this post was done in one day. We started off at about 11 am and finished up around 5:30 or so .... you are right about the flowers - we will be adding some flowers to it - we haven't figured out what we want to do yet - but we have a few ideas. We are going to be putting some vegetables in here - but we also want to add some colorful flowers to attract some bees.
