Summer Porch Corner - Flower Planters

Isaiah 65:8

Another corner of the porch, ready for summer

I tend to do things in sections, it makes it seem more manageable. If I would try to design and set up the entire porch or room, I might never get passed the "planning" stage. This way I can plan it, do it, and move on. Do you work this way? or are you an all or nothing type?


I have used these grape presses for planting on my porch for many years. This corner of the porch gets little light so it is perfect for Impatiens, and not so perfect for picture taking.

I've done my best to lighten up the pictures. The Hydrangeas will probably not stay here but be planted in the front garden. I do like them here for now and they provide a bit of color until I get more annuals and have the front garden ready.

I use an old hanging basket inside my one crock, it fits perfect and allows for great drainage.

On top of another Large Crock is is another Grape Press, both the presses were my Father-in-Laws. Some of the crocks were my Mom's and some from my Father-in-law. I lined both presses with natural flower basket inserts for easier planting and care.

I added the Meat Grinder and Scale this year, I like the little flower tucked in the Meat Grinder, hopefully it will survive and thrive.

The Lanterns I've used before, (I think I have 5) were a rescue from the scrap yard

An Aqua Garden-For the Love of Flowers and Junk

Isaiah 61:11




Welcome to my world!
Can you tell I LOVE Flowers?



and old junk... The Bird Feeder was an
Anniversar Present, last year.The only thing I purchased new were the plants and the hat and the tiny pot on the top rung (from the Dollar Store)

Everything else was a Thrifty Find!


Like, Old Rusty Bed Springs


I also have a new LOVE of Aqua!


Did you know that it is very contagious? yep, all I did was paint one thing in Aqua, and next thing I knew, everything was painted Aqua (even some leaves)


I'm not usually a "matchy, matchy" type gal,
 so I really don't know how all this stuff ended up Aqua! (and I don't usually call myself a gal either)


My Old Gray, Wooden Ladder is now Aqua...


My Birdhouse, is now Aqua... it was red and I loved it, but I think I love it more now!


At least, I didn't paint my Rusty Wine Barrel Ring, well maybe just a touch around the edges, I told you it was contagious, and spreading fast!



I think my Clay Pots, were the first to go


Followed by one of my Rusty Old Lanterns, and even my little Dollar Store Bird
(see him tucked in with the flowers?)


I didn't paint my hat, or the Old Garden Shears,
(I was tempted, but you have the draw the line somewhere, right?)

If you Liked it, feel free to Pin it!

Thank you for stopping by, hope you enjoyed your visit, come back soon!

Your comments really do make my day!

God Bless and have a wonderful day
