Warm Spring days can make you think of two things: gardening and ice cream. Now you can combine both right now! Seriously now, this is an idea for making a planter out of all things a flat bottomed, cake ice cream cone. Think of it as a biodegradable seed stater much like a more expensive peat pot. This isn't as crazy as it seems. Ice cream cones are far less expensive than peat pots and they degrade quickly and are available in most stores. Once the seeds have sprouted and are ready to go outside, all you have to do is plant the cone. Any leftovers can be used for ... ice cream.
The other evening the Gulf Hills Garden Club had it's annual plant auction. Every year we get together and the members bring in all manner of interesting and beautiful plants that are auctioned at our club fund raiser. This year we had many exciting plants such as Rice Paper Plant (Tetrapanax), Loquot Tree (Eriobotrya japonica), and the Night Blooming Cereus, as seen in the picture below, featuring our auctioneer, local artist and Gulf Hills Garden Club member, Michael W. Moses.

This years auction was a lot of fun and a lively good time was had by all.
We would especially like to take a moment and thank our hosts for this years auction and our monthly meeting. They had a elegantly laid out table that was in many of our members words nothing more than a work of art! Everything was just perfect!
