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!

Tomatoes in a bag? I'll have to try that next year! Thanks for the tip!

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

Nice garden. Boy, those are some stone blocks you have. Wonderful.

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.

Marion, thanks for the info. Please show us some more photos of your wonderful garden as it grows.

OH, those milk cans. how wonderful they are. I hope the paint stays on all year round for you. they are so super beautiful. and in the garden too. Love everything you're doing with the yard and pond.

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?

I love the driftwood and ...your iris's.....gorgeous!
