Flower Boxes

Love the flower boxes and what a steal! Gotta love auctions when you have the money to go. I only have 2 flowerboxes and they are the fake terra cotta ones..plastic but haven't planted anything in them in years. Waiting to get the end of the drive done on both sides so then I can set them out and add some color to the end of my drive instead of the standard ugly culvert. As for the steel-wheeled barrel, your not getting mine. I snagged one out of someone's garbage several years ago and now it seems e1 wants to buy it from me. Always getting ppl stopping in while I'm out in the yard asking how much I want for it. lol no nope nada. It's mine mine mine and the flowers I have in it look great. I have it parked in a lil cut out of the woods that you can see from the road. When the trees are all leaved out, it looks great.

That is a very good deal - if you price these boxes at the nursery or home stores, they are a ton of money more. Wave petunias are a favorite of mine - I love how they grow all over without getting so leggy. I have a bunch of oversized flower pots my neighbor gave me when she moved and I found bound to use these. I'm going to make artistic arrangements of flowers and greenery in them (in my dreams!), or more likely just what I see when I go buy the flowers and can't do without - all bright colors for sure. Have you seen those big truck tire planters! What do you think?

I net mom is just so happy about the planters.

A bargain. You have made them look very attractive with the wood varnish. I dont have any flower boxes as such, but I do have an old babies toddler pool, that I converted to a plant Pit! Oh, I do have all these planter boxes out the front with strawberry plants in them. They were given to us by friends who moved interstate. In fact they gave us lots of plants. Petunias will be ideal planted in your boxes.

You sure found a great deal. I like the choices that your planning to plant in them. I'm thinking about planting a planter with the picture enclosed.

That sounds really neat. I have a cream can I use as a planter and I painted flowers on it..but I love flower boxes..well actually I would love to have some that hook under your windows. But good for you! Good price...and I see you have a new avatar today...where's the little gal?

We have wooden flower boxes around our trees. I do not have anything planted around them this year. I used to have some live forevers planted around them but I took them out and never replaced them with something else. I would love to have some old wagon wheels and a =n old wheel barrel also. I love that kind of stuff. I also like the half barrels that used to hold whiskey in them also. they make nice flower barrels. the washing machine tub would be neat also.

We plant pansies here in the winter, they don't do the summer well.

You got a good deal and those are really pretty..I have no idea what I will be planting in mine..

Those are beautiful and will be stunning filled with the petunias. I don't have any boxes, but I'm using just about everything else for containers around here. I'm trying to see just how far I can get without spending any money. I had a couple of nice baskets sitting in my storage locker so grabbed them the other day, thinking I'd plant some flowers in them and sit them on the porch. Well my flower seeds that I started aren't doing real well and I need more places for beans and such, so I decided to look at it all again. The baskets are wide and deep enough that I think I can put three beans in each (they're bush type) and do quite well. I'm still putting some beans/snap peas directly into the ground beside the house, but space is limited and I wanted to put a few more into containers so I can move around to keep in the sun. I'm hoping it'll work - should be interesting regardless!
