Container Gardening

The last few years,   I have found that I like container gardening  better than putting my plants in a "fixed flower bed"    It works better for me to be able to easily move a plant if I want to.    Plant getting too much sun ?....move it.    Need a little color somewhere else in the yard ?....move a pot of color in.

I have filled  this old wooden tool box with several pots of flowers....

Isn't this a fun way to group petunia baskets together...

I put flowers in the front and back baskets on the bicycle.....and hung a basket of flowers on the tricycle's  handlebars, 

Here I have put three baskets of flowers  in a pink flower "bed" 

A concrete donkey with two containers of flowers..............

Wicker chairs with buckets of flowers in the seat....

A buggy with two pots of geraniums....

Concrete pot + chandy+pot of pertunia's = a fun container

I can set this hanging basket in a chair or hang it somewhere else in the yard....

In this bed,   I have some baskets of flowers as well as some plants in the ground.     The plants that are in the ground are ones that come up every year.

Small plants in a carpenter box....

a wire basket of flowers

Old metal buckets are always fun to put plants in.    

  

Our kids used to play with this old wagon.    H painted it white a couple of years ago...love the big rubber tires

Vintage washing machine full of zucchini plants....

I have about 5 pots of flowers on this wooden hay wheel  barrow.....

A n old rusted grocery cart as a container.................

I've even put pots of geraniums in the back of our pony buggy.  

  Since I started container gardening,  I look at things in a different way....I ask myself....can I use this to hold flowers in the garden????
