Gutter Planter

I saw an idea on Pinterest and said to myself, "self, you have to do this. Nay, you need to do this." So I did it. I didn't want mine to be as large as the one from Pinterest, so I just got one white vinyl gutter and decided I would cut it into 3 shorter pieces.
Then, I thought to myself, 'How does one cut a gutter into 3 pieces?' Perhaps there is a tool for this very purpose. Well... I'm not going to spend money on said tool. You didn't fool me Lowe's. I've got a box cutter. So, I proceeded to spend 3 hours scoring and scoring and scoring the gutter until I was able to cut through it... twice.
After finally separating the gutter into 3 sections I put the ends on, attached the gutters to my fence with nuts and bolts, drilled holes in the bottoms, filled them with soil, added seeds and water and 5 months later..... Isn't she purdy?

Gutter Planter as of 7/16/13

Okaaay, sooo, it isn't as lush as the one in on Pinterest. However, I am not chalking this up to failure yet. I think I just need to reassess and try again next year or maybe in the fall.

I shall add this to my expenses, but I am going to add another section and call it 'Unnecessary Expenses,' and that is where this shall go.  The 10' gutter was $5.23 and the 6 side pieces were each $3.12 for a total of $23.95 which I will round to $24.
