More NEW Galvanized Planters Along The Deck
June 14, 2021
Along my deck, it's kind of shady on one end and kind of sunny on the other.
I planted an English Ivy and two red seed geraniums in my smaller chicken feeder.
In the larger chicken feeder that I stenciled HERE, I planted two SunPatiens called Compact Fire Red.
The funnel on top of this milk can, that I stenciled, is planted with two Fiesta Salsa Red Double Impatiens and two sweet potato vines that were chomped off by deer.
I usually get larger bark nugget mulch but it was not available at Menards this season. This stuff blows around more.
The side of the deck from back yard to front.
Under the tree I planted a couple of coleus from Menards that were unmarked, along with pink impatiens.
The coffeepot on top of a junky wheel has one Fiesta Stardust Pink Double Impatiens planted inside.
This funnel on a broomstick is planted with rose impatiens.
This small galvanized tray is planted with Sprint Plus Pink wax begonias and pink impatiens.
Several hostas are coming up under the tree, along with some sedums.
More rose impatiens in the barrel with $2 upright fuchsias from Menard's in 2" pots.
This planter on my peacock settee has three different varieties of coleus.
This area is perfect for begonias, especially Rieger Begonias, but the deer wouldn't leave them alone the last couple years.
A couple more coleus in chamber pots under the tree.
My small sawhorse has pink wax begonias on top and a Swingtime Fuchsia hanging on a hook underneath. A Menard's cheap snapdragon basket is in the bucket on the right.
A small Boston Fern is planted in the tall galvanized vase/planter. I stenciled the old shovel head with a fern stencil from Hobby Lobby.
In past years the tiny ferns have really gotten big in this location.
Thanks for visiting!

I love your blog and your junk garden. It is inspiring! You must spend a fortune on flowers every spring
ReplyDeleteOh yes, I spend a lot of flowers! My husband is a golfer and I am a flower gardener. It's my summer hobby! Thanks!
DeleteImpatiens are one of my very favorite flowers to plant. I have a spot under a maple tree along my driveway where I always plant them. I love all your galvanized containers, too. All your plantings look lovely, Carlene.
ReplyDeleteThanks Naomi!

ReplyDeleteThanks Dodie!
DeleteI use the funnels as hanging planters. I have two of them. They are getting very hard to find.
ReplyDeleteI have quite a few. But you are right, they aren’t plentiful anymore.
