I found the milk cans at a friend's barn, and she gave them to me. I paid a local artist to paint them for me. She had the whole winter LOL ... aren't they fabulous? I love them!

What a lovely pond. I was never good at growing anything but weeds!

Please show us pictures later in the summer, when everything is at it's peak. I love gardening, but had to give it up. Can't reach the ground anymore. Those boxes for the sunflowers look like the perfect raised beds to grow a lot of stuff. Thanks for sharing.

The milk cans are stored in the shed in the winter ... but she put lots of extra coats of whatever on them to make sure they can stay outside spring to fall!

Do the paper bags not fall apart when they get wet?
