Just Speaking Out

 Solar Lights, in an interesting Placement when Soil is just not readily available. 

     Deciding on the way to place the solar lights in a fashion to light up the vegetable's and flowers, on this deck without soil to place them in. 
    Finding these little baskets at a local Dollar store and of course for a dollar, I bought several. The flowers were on clearance at one of the local retailers for about I believe 64 cents. Perennials are seldom found for that price, and the solar light were also under a dollar, and of course this depends on what size solar light some one is going to chose, the prices vary a little .Then just add a little bit of potting soil. 
    This little planter averaged about $2.80 with the plant, the light, the basket, and soil. I always can decorate the basket to my taste.  I also placed a small hole in the bottom of the basket for drainage, this also has worked well. The idea definitely illuminates the deck, while I am enjoying the cooler evenings outside. The type of flower, or plant is the gardener's choice, also these little baskets come in many colors, and sizes. A quick and easy way to place those unused solar lights, where there is a lack of soil present.
