    Hmmm. I couldn’t do this, just because aesthetically, it looks like a hanging closet shoe rack.

    No hiding that, Jim! LOL! I’m reminded of the “Emperor’s New Clothes”…

    I am afraid I am with Jim on this one…reminds me of a closet organizer for shoes. I would wonder about the drainage though as well.

    Janet- I guess this is an illustration of a sow’s ear…

    Well….What ever floats your boat I guess. I would want plants that cascaded to hide the shoe pouches though LOL! Might work for herbs if you had just a small balcony garden.Enjoy this little warm up Ilona.

    Thanks Lona- hope to get a chance to enjoy the warmup today :)

    Seems like this is one idea that got a resounding thumbs *down* from gardeners.

Oh, hi there!

I was a garden blog pioneer, and began writing on this blog in 2003. Before that I had begun a garden website that has been at its own domain since 2006, Ilona's Garden.

I still love writing, gardening, and art after all these years, although travel and grandchildren have become a big part of my life, now.
