Buckets of Flowers

I love galvanized buckets, and pick them up on my flea market trips when I can get them for a reasonable price. I never pay over $10.00 for them, and most are $5.00 to $8.00.

I brought them out of the storage building Saturday and planted a few to place in my yard.

I love zinnias and this one at my grapevines adds a little color.

This is not a galvanized bucket, but enamel.  I think the red goes great with the white enamel, and red lawn chair.

My little rusty bucket is my favorite.  It is filled with hens and chicks, and a rusty chicken, that in better times was a garden stake.

I added a bamboo skewer to the back and placed it in the pot.  NEVER through anything away.  Who knows how you might use it!

My yard is mostly sunny, so a few years ago, we added 3 River Birches near the patio to add some shade.  This allows me to add a few shade tolerant plants.  These are some coral impatiens that match the green and orange Scott’s Spreader. (Sorry, I have to color coordinate.)
