Kitchenware as Repurposed Planters



                                                                                     

                                           I don't know but it seems all garage sales, tag sales,

                                             yard sales and estate sales have one thing in common.

                                                                Tons of  KITCHENWARE !

        I want to share a couple of fun pieces to turn into planters.

                                                 First I found an aluminum colander for .50

                                                          These are so useful in the garden.

                                    I use one to carry fresh vegetables and herbs to the house.

                                             Then it is easy to rinse and clean your veggies.

I had a Coco Liner on hand from The Dollar Tree. You can

line the sides and bottom with moss if you prefer.

It was a pretty good fit !

They can be trimmed with scissors.

                            I used Patio Potting Mix and purchased one small pot of Petunias.
         

Less mess if I do it on the grass!

 The Colander on the left has succulents that I planted in the Fall

The other pan was an old Jello Mold for .50

I used the same Potting Mix.

I know there is special potting soil for succulents but it is expensive and I have

had good results with the Patio Mix.

I will only water the wreath with a spray bottle.

                                                    I just used cuttings from my backyard.

For this project you will only need a small amount

of cuttings. If you don't have access to

cutting, ask friends and neighbors to save you some.

Hey ask your Mom or Grandma !

Gardeners love to share.



I used a stick to poke holes in the dirt.

Gently press stems into the holes and tap down dirt around plant. 

Mist with a spray bottle.

As the plants establish you can give your wreath a tilt if you like.

Trim to keep the shape.

I brought it in the house and added a candle.
