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!!!

Happy Vintage Thingie Thursday!!!
