Bucket Planter

I had not posted this bucket planter that Honey built for me last month because of aesthetics. I had not painted the fence when he put it together so I thought to ugly for a beautiful page like this. Well, painted then 113 weather in Oklahoma has been around for awhile now taking it's toll on all our flower gardens and landscape in general. Then I thought about it and this is also an informative site and not everything we do starts out looking like it came out of a magazine. My picture will give you an idea of how to build. They show that you can use all shapes and sizes for the look to want to achieve. It will also show you what our flowers look like during an oppressive summer, scorched. Doesn't matter if you miracle grow every two weeks and water twice a day. Sometimes it is what it is.

    Tina, the use of different shapes and sizes makes this more of a sculpture. This is great!!

    Thanks Becky! Wished the flowers could have better, but these unusually hight temps has baked everything.

    No, we didn't. They are thick galvanized buckets and containers and have been in the weather for a while. Not a concern!
