powayseller, you can the Martha Stewart of renters. 🙂 How about a section on your website on how to make a rental feel like “home” with things you can easily take away with you when you move?

I too have potted plants on my patio. It looks much better if you have nice planters instead of the cheap plastic kinds. I have cacti because I don’t have time to care for the plants. My elderly auntie is staying with me for a couple of months. She’s teaching me how to start an herb garden.
