My planter box on this sunny Thanksgivng morning..

Love the color.
Welcome to DU!
Here's mine, a little more "utilitarian."
I love these boxes, but I learned a hard lesson in the middle of the summer because one of mine collapsed from the weight of the soil. I should have mixed more leaves in the soil because the side piece of wood slipped out of its peg after a heavy rain.
The leaves not only break down and feed the plants, they absorb the water and release it to the roots of the plant over time.
I had to fix the planter by digging out all the soil and adding supports to the corner. Took me weeks to fix it.
