A little discovery

I've had these little bistro tables for years. You may know that I've recently been taking a closer look at them -- I've had to while adding the wooden top.

I noticed something else about them recently too: the ring connecting the legs. They could do more than just add rigidity to the table.

I've always thought that something was missing from these...

Do I have the right-sized "ingredients"?

I probably do... I must, with so many clay pots... Yes, I do!

These clay pots are slightly different sizes, but both fit into the rings.

So I planted them up.

And now the little tables are more visually balanced.

They also seem like they have a purpose even when their tops are empty.

I think the third one under the deck...

...will be difficult to find a plant for being so dark. I should probably relocate this one anyway.

Not sure that I have a third pot of the right size either...
