Fun and Funky Planters

Man, it's hot out.  Almost hot enough to make me to ignore my garden.  I think I'll sit inside and blog about it instead;)

Remember my post early this summer on Instagram and Facebook with this year's version of my birdcage planter?

Just impatiens this year:)
I just remembered that I have another unorthodox planter I haven't shown you yet, one I made out of an ancient Ikea chair that had lost its seat:

Grass, Bells (suffering from the heat) and Sweet Potato Vine (loving the heat)
I'm not much for pink flamingos, but I do like a garden that has some quirkiness to it, and unusual planters are a great way to achieve that goal.  Here are a few more examples I'd like to try someday:

Wherever and whatever you are planting this summer, hope you're having fun and staying cool.
