I love collecting many things including colanders

River birch tree filled with my colander/planters... used coffee filters and coco liners to hold in the moisture so flowers can grow.

    At times I hang them on my front porch too... Vicki one of the colanders is black and another one is light blue but they came that way... I'm sure the right spray paint would work.

    Thank you all, I have such fun in my yard and inside my home.

    I just have to say I LOVE Hometalk it allows me to share my creativity - years ago people called me crazy now they say I'm creative... I have to LOL because I haven't changed but the times have. ;)

    For those who will be joining me in colander collecting please post pictures of yours... we'd love to see them :)

    The gardening and 'old kitchen tool lover' that I am...this has to be incorporated into my garden next summer! (It's a good thing I retired this year...and people have the nerve to ask what I do with my time...lololol)

    This is great CeeJai. Hey, do you put the coffee filters in as a liner?
    on Mar 31, 2013 · Like 0
  • CeeJai Stockbridge, GA
    Robyn,

    Yes, I put the coco liner first and then the coffee filters (3)... if I just use the coco liners the water ran through too quickly.

    ahh, such clever thinking. I will be thinking of coffee filters now anytime this happens!

    Thank you :)

    Sometimes I hang them on my porch with anything fragrant, my favorites are alyssum and petunias.
