Day 23 of 31 days of prepping for the Holidays - Winter outdoor containers

I currently have no formal landscaping and since it is too late up in the mountains to do any landscaping I decided to put cool weather plants in my outdoor containers that will provide some much needed 
COLOR!!
So today on day 23 of prepping for the Holidays I did something that I love....
 
I got my hands in the dirt and instantly felt grounded.

It is such a weird feeling but when I am planting I am in another world. 
I am so content, relaxed and at peace.

So after all that digging and planting I got 12 of my outdoor containers filled with 
ornamental cabbage and pansies.
 
Woo Hoo!!....I am so excited to watch these pretties grow!!



I have never planted ornamental cabbage before but I just love the way it looks.

These are some of my inspiration images for ornamental cabbage.






I think the color and texture of these plants are amazing!!
