Dumpster Diving
Like my "new" planter? I got two of them.
Last year, at the end of summer, they were sitting down by the curb for the garbage. They were dirty and needed a good scrubbing. I popped open the trunk, threw them in and put them away in the shed for next year.
It's next year!
I forgot about them until this weekend. After I scrubbed them, you could see they were a little weathered from, well, being out in the weather. Nothing a coat of spray paint wouldn't cure. I even had a can on the shelf in the laundry room.
Spray spray.
Add dirt. Add flowers. Done!
(I know that Walt Kowalski tolerates my collection day "finds" but a quick internet search said they retail for minimum around $50 each.)
I got the other small pots for the back patio planted, too.
I have learned that when planting my own pots if the pot looks like 4 flowers would be enough add 6. I also learned that I always buy too many flowers. They are just so pretty at the store.
