August 14, 2012 -- basket of black-eyed Susans

This funny little basket is something I rescued from a friend's discard pile last night. I was sort of surprised it would stand on its tip (it's supposed to be hung), but it did. In it are Thai basil and the tiny little black-eyed Susan called Rudbeckia triloba.  There's no water in the basket, although I could have dropped a water-holding container into it. These materials will hold up a surprisingly long time without it, though.
