This week I took photos in my back yard. I seem to use mostly vintage things to house plants and veggies and they are displayed all over my yard. I love the whimsy charm this brings to an outdoors setting.
Old, weathered copper pot was a road side find...free....and the patina on this is really neat. I love the pink hydrangeas in this pot.
Vintage plate border is on one side of my yard. I love how this looks with the flowers filling in behind them. Very charming.
Old sap buckets hold lots of flowers. I have had these for years. They are great for housing flowers.
Large watering trough. This is a large one that I have just this year filled with dirt and planted flowers throughout. The plants are finally coming up and filling in the space, I really love how this looks.
Here is a smaller galvanized trough. An old vintage cup and saucer is peeking out from the right side.
Vintage water pump, Old chair as a planter, and a old water jug makes for a whimsy fun spot off the patio.
I even used buckets this year for planing herbs in my garden....so far, they are working out great for that too!
Another trough and an old window frame adds to the charm of more container veggies growing in one corner of the yard. There are lots of options for growing veggies in your yard, and if space is limited, there are options for that too!! Just think outside the box~~
This old wire has been around here a long time. I finally found a great use for it...it is serving as a trellis for the cucumbers I planted this year.....hope I start getting some soon, I want to make some pickles this year!!
It is easy to use every space you have in our outside environment and make it your own. One thing everyone says whey they see my back yard....is that it definitely is "Me".....I hope they mean that in a good way!!!

Thanks for hosting this every week its so much fun and I love participating when I can. My favorite thing from your post this week is that plate border in the garden! What an awesome idea I never would have thought of that! Thanks!
ReplyDeleteYou have an knack for using anything old and vintage and turning it into a work of art. Sorry, I thought I had the new things figured out, but could not link in. I will keep trying.
ReplyDeleteI love your pretty things in the yard.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for hosting.
I've been trying to help LV with the new blogger thing but I don't understand it either..I keep switching back to the old one.
I love how you decorated your yard-especially the vintage plate border!

Thanks for hosting. I've been planting maple trees this week.
ReplyDeleteYour garden's looking so lush and healthy.....Christine
ReplyDeleteI also plant in lots of vintage items. If it's old and holds dirt more than likely it's getting planted. You have a lot of fun vintage in your garden. I planted carrots in a long wooden box today. I was planning on doing a post when I get everything planted. I am sure I will be sharing it with your party. Sounds like today was a wonderful day!
ReplyDeleteHugs,
Jann
I love all your cute planters...especially the one with the adorable tea cup and saucer inside. What a great idea!

Some great and creative ideas here for using "vintage" things in my yard & gardens. I especially like the window in the water trough and think I can assemble that with the things I have stored here & there. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteI just love all your vintagey touches in your garden! My daughter has taken over my yard, stolen my plate border, and planted up every bucket and odd container she can find. I now have the yard and butterfly garden of my dreams...but if I want to keep any particular container INSIDE, I had better either hide it or superglue it to something HEAVY! lol.
ReplyDeleteShe will love this post.
Thanks for hosting, and happy Thursday!
