As with every year, this spring I said that the kids and I were going to start a garden... and it didn't happen.
I like the idea of it all (having fresh vegetables or beautiful flowers right in the yard), it just seems that the actual work of it manages to get in the way. Not only am I never going to keep up with pulling weeds or keeping animals out, I know that I wouldn't even remember to water often enough to keep things alive.
Clearly, I don't have a green thumb. Is there such a thing as a lazy thumb?
Fortunately, this year things have still been going my way thanks to Plow & Hearth and their innovative, stylish, and convenient Lexington Self-Watering Planters.
![Lexington Planters](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgta_km5AJ77d5uYnU1pJKBEIMAYU5FC8nZIqmVOZW3EczEI3GUIA8PDkHTTiImkJ_e2FxBb3YLfDgrfraIRAViCx-yuIJ8E5avxGCokpfC8fTDIXReOCST6gcih_rZT14HX_5zw976j0o/s400/self-watering+planters.jpg)
But more than just a planter, these black, green or white square or rectangle containers are double walled and feature a sub-irrigation water reservoir. Simply fill them with water and your plants will water themselves!
Considering I was excited that Plow & Hearth was taking care of most of my gardening laziness, I couldn't wait to see the 14" square white Lexington Planter when it arrived.
![white planter](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgvC03Dbl1GQdkoWktZap318vBb_Mbv01O2d5dxiG62mRDc5N1OUNoDYh6FZirWfZiuIgWTwzYzl25PoOOkk0bxeNXqrwAiv7RhYvM4ePU0JgFI9PJ2UGQiYaUNyLka_Tg28XVfu6RDTZ8/s400/Lexington+Planter.jpg)
Peeking inside, I took a look at the water reservoir (or what I like to think of as the "magic section") portion of the innovative design:
![self-watering planter](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh6cxriGW9OIqAeiJNl91wopKIbvqt9M83g6zQVBTBZQz87fUvrBfmOQ5Kn2pZpZ-vWKxU16G4EEofAJVuWPwSfu2CC-43HEFV9eh7KSZXPk16RJoWidQ6VqDDv8GmjLEM7Z1EfXV-w4ok/s400/flower+planter.jpg)
Simply fill the bottom with water until the water begins to come out of the overflow hole...
![water overflow](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgOnE3_SO94NXZjfgxRJMHdCzyWl07ZC4_2UeFOSHZX4aNKoOYZ5IEKjkla0zO6znniND5GzJ_UrBAFVjmdzAdlvw2i3vRyO8VQAYZ8PgN29TkYW5PbxR6ygD0DvuhU5Mm5R5uD6d84hnQ/s400/Plow+%2526+Hearth+planter.jpg)
![tomato plants planter](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh5j-YAxxRTeOuZOrst4E3VdFoh7sHdzEFV-0U6A80mda7VhAITlHv2sDl3MkDnausU_Jy9jHaP5J1mLjqSGy2juEEgw3SAeRlRIbd92hiQXgw9VO48cIrYPjdDyFpcjrmtmcKCF9Ak9vY/s400/tomato+plants+planter.jpg)
There's really nothing else to it! I love that there is no maintenance to this good-looking container, yet my tomato plants are still doing great. The Self-Watering Planter makes it so easy to have the beautiful results of flowers or the tasty results of our future tomatoes all right there in one sturdy, safe place.
I haven't done a single thing to these plants for at little while now and they look like they're thriving to me - so they must be taking advantage of being able to get just the right amount of water on their own!
![self-watering planter](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjg3hKyqCxVT8O6t-0kn29v07VlGIiYLSWoWIRoEestRFNZB4luPzbFfuXEC9bZ-4R16AqNQQEzgM2U2LY6N8lQVacwcC80V7Q421OMmYz4s3Rt-XfAOZHpGmcuqtaEk2bOJeeSkQcRkHg/s400/planter+self-watering.jpg)

Retailing for $79.95 for the 14" square planter (and up to $149.95 for a 4' window box), a Lexington Self-Watering Planter is an item that can be used year after year to add beauty to your home. Decorate a porch or deck, liven up your yard or add a gorgeous touch to your entryway - you can't go wrong because the container will do the work for you!
Thanks to the generosity of Plow & Hearth, one person will be able to choose their favorite functional, decorative, and innovative product to enjoy this summer as well, because...
One lucky person will win a $50 gift certificate to Plow & Hearth!
