Adding personality to my yard



Category: Garden Personality project | Posted: Tue May 02, 2006 3:26 pm

This is going to be an on going project.

I got this idea from my sisters roommate, Nicole. She had this tiny little copper pot(for cooking). It is about big enough to hold three cups of water. She didnt want to throw it away because it was her grandmothers. So I drilled 3 tiny little holes in the bottom and planted an ivy in it. It looks just wonderful now. The ivy obviously loves its new little home.

Well, After the storm the other day, I was out in the yard ,looking around. My yard is need of a personality. So I started looking around in my house and have found several little containers to use as planters. One is a steamer for a large pot. Its brown with lots of holes. And the other is a old canister...you know the kind you put sugar in. I have been using it for my paint brushes.

Im getting ready to go to the local GoodWill and see what they have. Planters and plant pots are sooooo expensive! But I love a good hunt! So does Rob. He has a very good eye.

So Ill be adding to this as I go....My yard is in serious need of some personality!!!!

I think to start off its personality you should name it, like the way Toni named hers FRED. What do you think?

Hehe Gnome Dome, I like it!

I would suggest starting a new topic in the forums Denee.

I love planting in odd things. My other yard had quite a collection, tucked in little places to add interest. This place, has few plants, so anything I put in the garden stands out like I have neon signs on it....so, I'm holding off on putting too much out until I have some plants to go with.
As soon as I master posting pictures here, I'll share some of my unique "planters".
