Actually, this is Monday, December 3rd (5:30 PM) but I want these pictures to follow the earlier post and pictures. I adore my unique projects!! First, the satellite dish squirrel baffle previously mentioned. Second, a Christmas tree stand was attached to one of three identical planters, and a shallow plant stand attached to another planter. The wrought-iron chair had been sanded and spray painted. Sixth picture shows a potential arrangement. Last picture reveals that it took half a bag of soil around the Salvia plant removed from the smaller (white) planter. ~~~~ Hummingbirds (and bees) love Salvia so I’m encouraging expanded growth. Perhaps Nasturtiums trailing from the tallest of the three planters?? The cone-shape wicker hanging baskets are temporarily on a free-standing metal stand with two “arms.” Quite possibly, for that, I’ll plant Calibrachoa in hanging baskets. Everything geared toward flowers for the Hummingbirds!! ~~~~ Nominal expense: Chair, Christmas tree stand, and planter stand from Goodwill. Brackets to attach… from my private supply of hardware. Spray paint was less than $1 from Ollie’s (and already on-hand for my other wrought-iron items). Matching planters were on sale, from Tuesday Morning. With the exception of organic planter soil from K-Mart, on sale, I have to pay “top dollar” for planter soil. That bag was $5.49 from Ace Hardware. (I’m saving the organic soil for my Topsy-Turvy upside-down tomato planters, and Scarlet Runner Beans, and Nasturtiums because those three are edible.) ~~~~ It was a beautiful day with temperature in the low 70’s. The weatherman announced it was “still” 64 degrees at 5:20 PM.
