A Curbside Find For The Junk Garden
June 22, 2023
My neighbor informed me that there was a free vintage garden cart and also a free spreader on the curb close to my house.
I checked it out, and of course I snapped it up.
I grabbed a big nail and a hammer from the garage.
And I pounded holes in the bottom of the cart for drainage.
I then added plastic water bottles to the bottom of the cart.
I won't need to add as much soil.
Next, I added potting soil.
I picked up two white plastic baskets of mixed impatiens at Menards now only $5.61 each.

The impatiens should fill in the top of the cart nicely.

I placed the vintage garden cart next to the house,

With other rustic planters and garden junk.

The small buckets on top of the tool box are planted with red seed geraniums. The rusty folding chair holds a tea kettle with parsley, and the grain bin has a white calliope geranium and two red impatiens bedding plants.

Further down the wall, I have a funnel, stuck in a cultivator, planted with pink lantana. The cream separator has a pink zonal geranium, and window boxes have pink seed geraniums.

Hostas and red zonal geraniums finish out the back side wall.
Thanks for visiting everyone!
