Now is the time to upgrade your outdoor space. Whether you have a sprawling backyard or a fire escape–turned–patio, the best accessory is one-size-fits-all: planters. With July upon us, potting your homegrown seedlings is a great task to check off your list (as long as your watering can is nearby).
