Forget the Tea... These Old Kettles Pour Out Rock Gardens!
Easy
I adore working in the garden. Silent therapy in the sunshine while creating... doesn't get much better than that!
Part of my Hometalk Meetup / Out of Africa event was doing something gardenish with junk. So I set about creating little rock gardens inside old kettles. Once I got them home, I found a perfect little corner for the small group.
The tea can wait... I want to plant more!
What's your favourite junky planter to use? I'd love more ideas!

Kick your rock gardens up a notch and plant them in something instead. I chose a collection of old kettles. Loving the elevation and junky detail!
My little helper Teddy was busy scoping out the area. Approved! Whew... don't mess with a cat I say.
Each kettle got two rock garden plants, plus were further enhanced with some sticks and stones for a truer rock garden feel.
Please don't ask me what these pretty plants are, I'm not a label reader at all (gasp!) but you're welcome to tell ME if YOU know!

Nice idea, as Jane stated above, my MOM did this also. It's such a great idea to do /W/ this or other objects from your kitchen. My MOM always did this instead of throwing things out. I remember she had a big pot she used to start seedlings in it, before planting in her veggie garden & herbs also.

I put the plant still in the nursery pot right into the kettle or pot. No problem with drainage.
