Flower Power

Such a sweet time of year.......the flowers are just starting to push out their glorious blooms...
....and growing so fast in all of the warm weather.
The boys' old Radio Flyer has been converted into a planter this year.
A lot of fun to do...but really had a hard time drilling the holes in the bottom...
oh the memories of lots of wagon rides down the street!
However, the old rusty ride is enjoying life now as a planter. Vrrrmmmm!
(Thank you, Jean, for the tips on how to do this!)

Urns have been planted....

.....with lots of trailing vines and flowers.

One of the pink hydrangeas is really showing off this year!!!

She is magnificent!!!

And my pot of pansies, a gift from my dear friend Miss Jean and Mr. In The Garden,

are still doing the happy dance.....

...and the mossy baskets are enjoying time hangin' around.

Enjoy your week!

PS: Miss Krystal is going to be grinning ear to ear with all of your kind words left about the platter she made. She is as cute as a button and as sweet as candy! Yes....I love her tons and tons!! Can you tell? smiles......

addendum 6-1-09: For planting the wagon:

Drill about 8-10 1/4" holes on the bottom for drainage.

Line it with window screening (you can purchase this at any hardware store). It will keep your
soil from falling through the holes but allows the water to drain.

I used Miracle Grow Moisture Retention potting soil being as the wagon gets hot and dries up the flowers fast. Fill the wagon with your soil and flowers and sit back to watch it grow!

Enjoy!!!
