Before you hang flower window boxes on the exterior of your home, you first need to select a window box container design that you really like.
As mentioned above, there are tons of styles available in stores and online. There are a few things you should also keep in mind when selecting a window box:
Window boxes look nice when they’re the same length as the windows you hang them under or when they’re just slightly longer than the windows.
You also want to find window boxes that have the right depth so that your plants can grow the long roots they need to stay healthy. For that reason, we recommend a minimum depth of ten inches.
Since you’ll be watering the plants inside of them regularly, it’s best to avoid window boxes made from untreated wood, which tend to start rotting out in as little as three to four years. Instead, opt for window boxes made from treated wood or composite materials like Trex, which can be made to look like

How to plant window boxes | House & Garden
Window boxes and troughs are the perfect way to dress your house, but it’s not as easy as simply planting them up and forgetting about them. Even before you start putting plants into soil, it’s well worth thinking about the practicalities. If you can’t easily and regularly water your plants, for example, consider installing an irrigation system or buying self-watering window boxes (try lechuza.co.uk). Your choice of compost is also important, as many multi-purpose composts are too light and will dry out in a flash, so choose a soil-based compost such as John Innes No. 3 or make your own mix from topsoil and multi-purpose compost.

How to Choose A Good Quality Wooden Garden Shed
The answer is that sheds vary in strength and weather resistance according to the way they are built. Overlap, tongue and groove and shiplap are different styles of shed cladding that offer varying qualities of protection and structural integrity and, as a result, they come at different price points. Choosing the right option for you depends on what you will need to use your shed for, as well as how much you can afford to spend. It helps to be aware of the different cladding options available so that you can make an informed decision when it comes to choosing your new shed. Rough sawn Timber Sheds at the cheaper end of the spectrum are often made from overlapping rough sawn timber planks secured to a framework. Feather boarding, which is thinner at the top than at the bottom is sometimes used for this purpose too. If this is your budget be sure to ask the manufacturer the board thickness – you want the boards to be at least 12mm thick. Overlap cladding sheds A shed with this style cladding is made with horizontal panels that overlap each other

Land of the Long White Cloud
Botanically, New Zealand is an extraordinary country. Because it drifted off from the rest of the world so early on, its natural flora is very limited and with the exception of the red flowers of the Metrosideros (New Zealand Christmas Tree), flowers tend to be insignificant, with a natural wooded landscape that is predominantly a mixture of trees in many shades of green and tree ferns. It’s not really surprising
