Terra Cotta Pot Inventory

Terra Cotta Pot Inventory by Mistress of Longears.
Discouraged by the destructive freezes and constant rain, I was inspired by the written inventory of "Garden Gear at Holkham, 1761" in Laura Stoddart's book, "The Sweet Life". I decided to make a visual inventory of the garden gear at Longears. Here is installment number 1. Let's hope that the Head Gardener at Longears doesn't get so busy inventorying that she neglects to actually garden!

WOW--This is "Installment#1???" Too funny--they're beautiful! You will HAVE to post some pictures of these once they're all filled and doing their thing. I love how you did all of these. I love the top left ones, the bottom left square one, the urn on the bottom right...well, I love 'em all! Ooooh... and neat strawberry pot...these are fabulous.

ps
I love "Longears." That's way cool. I wish I was close to your place--I would love to see it! It sounds beautiful--I'm anxiously awaiting your photos...

Thank you lin, loveitaly, Paper Moon, dawn and kayork. I have so many plan for things to do for Flickr. I hate to commit in writing; we'll wait and see what I manage to accomplish.

Wonderful! I agree with Only A Paper Moon. Looking forward to seeing photos and drawings of the plantings. I may even be inspired to plant my strawberry pot again!

OMIGOSH, you have that many wonderful terra cotta pots? Mine have mostly self-destructed, even the gorgeously glazed Down Under pots...
