Re-Arranging the Junk Garden Planters
June 17, 2017
As I said in a previous blog post, I don't get all new, old junk every garden season so I add a few new pieces and re-locate the old stuff. Above is a super cool rusty junky spring wreath made for me by my sister in law, Kris, and a half barrel on my deck with coffee pot planters on stakes. These past junk garden plantings were changed up for 2017.
The rusty spring wreath hung on an old ladder on my covered patio. Well the ladder is now on the wall in my recently updated craft room/den.
The coffee pots on stakes and my coffee roaster sign stenciled with Old Sign Stencils have been re-arranged on a barn door in a different part of the yard.
So I tried the rusty spring wreath above the half barrel with a salad plate hanging inside it.
The wreath just did not show up at all.
So I spray painted it with Rust-Oleum Chalked Spray Paint Chiffon Cream/Off White
. Two coats but it was not totally covered. More of a white wash finish. I also sprayed the wreath with Rust-Oleum Chalked Sealer/Wax Topcoat

Much better. The wreath now shows up on the old granery screen. I changed up the plate as well.
Planted in the half barrel are Athena Impatiens in multiple colors. Athena Impatiens are a seed variety of semi double impatiens. Also in the planting are white elfin impatiens, asparagus fern and dichondra. The plants were planted a couple of weeks ago and haven't filled in yet.
I like the silvery white dichondra vines with the white wreath.
The silver thing on the half barrel is a vintage aluminum lid added for decor!
