I am on a mission to create a unique garden area in front of my house. My goal is to find unusual containers to plant edibles in. The first planter is the wagon I rescued and re-purposed from mom and dad's house. This wagon was left by the previous homeowners and dad had relegated it to the back of the property with other dead, dying, or otherwise decrepit pieces of equipment. Since I love all things red, I just new it would have a great life at my house...I had considered planting watermelon in it, putting red and white geraniums in it, something cutesy and country. After visiting with my sister and seeing how well her patch of wild strawberries were doing, I decided to go on a wild strawberry search on my property and see if I could get a good patch started. It didn't take me long, literally it took me longer to walk down the hill than it actually dig up and transplant the strawberries. I love this little planter bed. I will need to add some garden mesh over it to keep bunnies and deer out, but for now it is good. The next planters are some old enamelware coffee pots without the inside pieces. Those are screaming for geraniums and a prominent placing on the steps up to the deck. Since it is a rainy yucky day, I think I will venture into the garage and search for the camping box....
