Saturday's Thoughts - Gutter Gardens...

Hi Michael:

I've seen some pretty good ones too.

A small tree growing from a gutter.

Gutter garden...that was clever!

Hi Michael,

"A gutter garden"! I like the term and have just added a good one to my vocabluary. Thanks for the very visual expression!

Michael, I like this.  Could be the start of a new botanical revolution for growing vegetables.  Something like: 'organically grown in private gutter garden'

Oh, new catch phrase, gutter garden, you are good. And I like the water feature...

You mean, those exotic trees growing out of the gutter were not supposed to be there?

I like Gabe's idea, I might try that myself. I have full sun in the back, and because it is a salt box the gutter is just about at the right height to reach. Then I can put a veggie stand in the front yard... a few extra bucks here and there. What a concept! And deer proof too!

Great picture of the rain coming off the gutter. Is that your house? Ha I just cleaned my gutters for all of the rain we receive in Phoenix. Thanks for sharing

Michael, you really have got to be good to your gutters! 

Michael...

I had a friend once that had a pretty expensive house, and on one of his high gutters was a tree that was at least two or three years old.

Talk about the potential for a lot of damage. When I pointed it out to him he didn't think that it was all that big of a deal.

Michael,

I am surprised that more of these gardens just don't fall off of the home with all of the weight.  

I love that term gutter garden too Michael...that is would absolutely drive me nuts!  On nice homes too!!

I see some of the most beautiful gutter gardens with built in water falls. LOL

The cool thing is that they have their own built in watering system:)

Ha!  Good one, Michael.  I once had a listing with 12 inch high weeds growing in the carpet (indoor/outdoor) out on the lanai.  We had to "mow" it.  Laraine 

Michael,

That built in water feature looks a bit like Niagra falls.

It's sad to say but I think we have a gutter that is a lot like picture # 2.  We may even have picture # 1 but I need to recheck.

Tennessee looks a whole lot like Texas in the gutter department. 

Michael: Gutters serve a great purpose. Neitherof your photos shows the true purpose...

Your second picture looked like my useless rain gutter before I replaced all of them with the "Rain Handler." Best thing I ever did for my houses.
