international fame during the Golden Age of the Cotton Club, honky tonk

dives along Lenox Ave, rent parties, stride piano players and that jumpin’ new

beat, Swing. Although not quite a biography, Aint Misbehavin evokes the

delightful humor and infectious energy of this American original as a versatile

cast struts, strums and sings the songs he made famous in a career that

ranged from uptown clubs to downtown Tin Pan Alley to Hollywood and

concert stages in the US, Canada and Europe.

For a quick splash of color and guaranteed success, buy ready-made containers with

combinations of flowers that thrive in the same conditions. Or you can be creative and

personalize a container with your favorite flowers, grasses and foliage.

How to Decorate with a Large Container of Flowers:

1. Find an outside space that needs a pop of color.

2. Select a ready-made container with colors and flowers you love for either a sunny or

shady spot.

3. Read the plant tags to see how much and when to feed and water.

4. When the top of the soil is dry to the touch, water until it trickles out the drainage

holes.

5. You can use a hanging basket in a container, too. Just cut off the hangers and pop it

in a container for instant color.

How to Create a Large Container with Flowers from Scratch:

1. Pick a large container with drainage holes.

2. Select plants that create a dramatic effect. Consider color, shape, texture, and size.

Cover all of your bases by picking plants that will fill, spill and thrill. You want to have

a tall plant in the center, plants to fill the middle, and finally, plants that will spill over

the edge — known as cascading plants. Find this information on the plant tag.

3. Place the large container in its ideal location. Completed containers are too heavy to

move and can hurt your back.

4. Fill the container ¾ full with good moisture-retaining potting mix that also contains a

slow-release fertilizer.

5. Remove the plants from their pots and loosen their roots. Never pull the plant out by

the flowers or stems.

6. Arrange the flowers in the container.

7. Fill in gaps with potting mix with slow-release fertilizer and moisture control and gen-

tly tap down. Let soil settle.

8. If you’re using potting mix without added fertilizer, feed with a fertilizer. Follow the

product directions to know when and how much to use.

9. Add 2-3” of mulch, moss or decorative rocks around the plant to retain moisture.

10. When the top of the soil is dry to the touch, water until it trickles out the drainage

holes.
