Junk Garden Before & After Photos (Planting Time & July 2nd)
July 02, 2021
Today I'm sharing some progress in the junk/flower garden from planting time and on July 2nd.
This old window frame has an attached galvanized window box with a Lanai Red Verbena.
The verbena is in full bloom and has really filled out, filling up the old junky table top.
Here is the old rusty grain scoop that I found at a garage sale this spring and stenciled, before adding a pot of verbena and a red zonal geranium.
On July 2nd, the plants are spilling out of the scoop and onto the rocks.
At planting time, my orange diascia were pretty tiny in the small galvanized buckets. I hung them with flower pot holders from my industrial dolly.
Today they are so pretty!
This galvanized pot wreath is planted with a six pack of pink wax begonias.
Here they are today with many more leaves and blossoms too!
I planted two Lofos vines in this fluted pail. Not one blossom on planting day.
Now they are blooming and filling up the obelisk. This is my first time trying this climbing annual vine.
Here are three of my orange calendula planted in my front yard border.
I am happy to report that the calendulas are filling in and blooming too.
They are so lovely!
These double red impatiens planted with the sweet potato vine plants (mostly eaten by deer) at planting time.
This funnel fits so well in the top of this milk can as a flowerpot.
The impatiens are in bloom and beautiful!
A funnel on a broomstick planted with rose colored impatiens at planting time.
On July 2nd, the impatiens are in full bloom!
This washtub with a ivy geranium basket from Menards and pansies at planting.
Both the ivy geranium and pansies are blooming and growing nicely.
This laundry tub of salvia, calibrachoa, and sweet potato vine sits above a bed of African marigold bedding plants.
Just look how full the tub is now, and how the marigolds are filling in the bed.
I added a few mini vista violet star supertunias to this planter for additional purple color.
The wheelbarrow usually has some nicotiana plants, and this year is no exception. Mexican feather grasses are planted in the center of the nicotiana.
My lawn is so very dry. We are in the midst of a drought.
But my plants are blooming and growing thanks to daily watering with weak Miracle Gro.
Thanks for visiting! Happy 4th Everybody!

ReplyDeleteCarlene,
ReplyDeleteDid you wire the galvanized pots with the pink begonias to a frame or the gate? How are you getting them to stay in a circle/wreath form? That looks gorgeous! I love the flower bed with the tub on top of the post, underplanted with such colorful floweres. Just beautiful. I enjoy yor gardening photos very much. (Email me at bwarner50@hotmail.com) Thanks.
Thanks so much! I emailed you about your wreath question!
DeleteLove all your beautiful flowers and planters! How did you attach the tub to the post?
ReplyDeleteThe post is a restaurant table with an iron bottom on the pedestal. We removed the table, added a square board to the pedestal top and screwed the tub to the wood. Thank you!
