I love these for keeping along side my steps to my porch.  My friend always gives me about three vegetables to plant plus I buy several lettuce plants, a variety.  With these I don't have to find a spot in my yard or flower gardens around the house, to plant the few vegetables I have.   Also they are close by and I can have a fresh salad in no time by just going right outside my door next to my steps on the entrance to driveway.  I love convenience and beautiful neat look of these planters.
