1...2...3...planting outside the box

I am sure you have heard of thinking outside the box...I decided to plant outside the box.

Using containers that are not necessarily for planting such as this swinging pockets container.

I haven't a clue what it's original purpose was , but I picked it up a few months ago
on clearance at Hobby Lobby for only $3.00. Some of the screws were missing and I
knew we could fix it so I brought it home with me.

{sometimes hubby tells me that I have a few missing also , but we won't go there lol.}

It just sat around in my studio doing nothing

{because I don't have one square inch left to set anything except on the floor!}

until I had an *ah ha* moment this week while planting flowers. 

I do love how it turned out. I lined the swinging pockets with plastic, but
that will be totally hidden when the flowers get larger.

I say to you " how cute is this" .
Almost wishing I had some more. 

I went to the greenhouse again today to spend some Mothers Day money from my daughter and this
 is what I brought home with me. Several ivy geraniums, asparagus fern, trailing vinca, impatiens
 and another fern.  Can't have too many flowers or ferns. I love this time of year...time for rebirth,
planting and just being  happy digging in the dirt.
