Going to put some of these ideas to use in my yard and hang some on the wood fence. I think planting a couple of flowers with my grandson and sitting them on the picnic table would be a fun project for us to do together. What do y'all think?

I think you farmgirls are on to something. The flowers and "tin" cans are really cute. Watering could be a problem though.

Oh fun fun, I'm gonna try these too, so cute! Soda can flowers! Do you guys think they're tacky? I'm surprised how cute they can be.

SUPER cute, Anita! LOVE that idea! I'm going to have to try that on my deck! You know, that was my first thought: since they're metal, you'll want to be very careful. In direct sunlight the can and dirt can really heat up and "cook" your flowers' roots, you know? Trust me... I'm a reformed infamous black thumb! LOL! I just love what you've done, though - very smart, very creative! :) Hugs - Nini

Amanda I hadn't thought of that. Our summers get very hot too and I can imagine sun shining on metal pots would get scorching hot. Better place in a shadier spot, thanks!

Very cute! My only problem with smaller containers is that they dry out so quickly in the Texas heat that I have a very hard time keeping things alive in them. Probably would help if I watered every day in the summer, but I don't. Oh well, lol. Maybe your summers aren't as intense or long as ours :0)
