Clever pumpkin planters
Posted by Sunset, October 1, 2007

By Sheila Schmitz, Sunset online editor

Our hats are off to Lori Graham of West Seattle, WA, for sharing this idea for a perfectly Halloweeny (and nicely green) patio planter:

Have a great Halloween decorating photo of your own? Send it to us! And check back all month for more clever ideas from your fellow Sunsetters.

I love this idea. I have just had the entrance to my front door redone and I have been wondering what to do to bring in some colour, as I am struggling with what type of planter to use, so will use this idea until I find something more permanent. Thanks the idea is great.
