I had an old gutter attached to my garage wall. I have a healthy lettuce garden growing in there. To irrigate it, I used an old hose that had sprung a few leaks, adding more holes. I laid it in the gutter and covered it with soil.

I took plastic bins that had lost their lids, punched holes in the bottom and filled them with soil. They are now growing tomatoes and potatoes and peppers.

I have wash tubs filled with geraniums...

I am looking for a maytag wringer washer so i can fill it w petunias.

I have a broken propane grill, that I am in the process of painting pink and green, which will house my garden tools, and act as my potting bench.

old work shoes and kids rain boots have become planters for hens and chicks and johny jump ups

a coffee can made of plastic ..the one with a natural indented handle is one of my fav garden tools. I carry tools in one, I use another to scoop soil, another one to water with (holes punched in the bottom)

I have made several bird waterers and feeders out of various dishes, teacups, teapots, bowls, etc..glued together and hung with mesh chains from shepards hooks

so...I am very into upcycling for the garden...

photos to come as the plants grow
