Cool Container Gardens
May 26, 2014
Here are some of the pots I planted this season. I can't wait for them to fill in!
I made this rustic pot holder earlier this spring, here. A single red geranium is planted in each terracotta pot.
This corner of my deck has a whiskey barrel with a galvanized bucket inside for more height and vertical interest. The bucket has red New Guinea Impatiens, and the barrel has sweet potato vine and bacopa. I made the Jello mold toadstools in an earlier post, here. The ice cream freezer is planted with a pony tail grass. I love the movement of grasses in the wind. The freezer was a dilapidated mess when I got it free from a friend. See that post, here.
Teapots planted with tuberous begonias and a double inpatiens on the rescued tree house ladder. I have displayed both minnow buckets and terracotta pots on the ladder in previous years. I make a hole in the bottoms of the containers that slide over a nail in the rung. No tipping or moving around!
Gas cans with an old nozzle and a automotive funnel with on a dowel with a fuchsia, join a whiskey barrel with more fuchsias. The pail is planted with mimulus in two colors in this shady area of my yard.
Another double decker whiskey barrel and galvanized bucket combo planted with crimson fountain grass, White Knight alyssum, Sunbini creeping zinnia, a calibrachoa in deep red, and a sweet potato vine.
I so love flower gardening!
