Over the past thirty (30) years, Patti has used four major planter boxes. Below is a photo of them from last year.
As all of you can well imagine, the above four planter boxes have become near and dear, friends, part of "Our family". Sad to say, their time had come because they are now too large and heavy for us to deal with and they were well worn on the insides.
The first thing I had to do, was to dispose of our above near and dear friends each of whom was full of earth.
This.. Was.. A.. Job..
Below are the four (call them) elderly planter boxes I had to empty.
Scoop by single scoop, I removed the dirt from each of the elderly planter boxes, unloading their the earth into plastic bags.
One bag finished. I stapled the top shut.
Two bags finished.
Three bags finished. The first planter box, an old friend, was empty of its dirt for the first time in thirty (30) years.
"Dad? What's happening Dad? Does Mom know what you are doing Dad?"
"Yes Dear Old Friend. Mom knows what I am doing. We both are so sad and sorry but we need to use fewer, much smaller and lighter in weight planter boxes."
Each bag full of dirt was "rather heavy" for me at age 88 years. So I would take just two bags, one in each hand for balance, and walk to our dumpster and drop them into it. Then I would return, and this was just a tad "tricky" for me, and take the third bag of dirt in my left hand, along with the old, somewhat large and bulky, planter box to the dumpster.
The below photo was taken with my back against the dumpster. In the distance is our white Suburban. A bit of a hike from the back of our Condo out front to our truck and then down to the dumpster.
I did not rush nor did I push the above project. Over four days I emptied and disposed of the four old friends.
The old and the new planter boxes.

The time had come for Patti to begin putting one of the two Home Depot Flower Plants into one of the brand new, light and trim, planter boxes.
There you have it. Part 2 of this 3 Part Post showing our Summer 2025 Flowers.
