" WITH EVERY BREATH I PLANT THE SEEDS OF DEVOTION. I AM A FARMER OF THE HEART" In the course of Urban life there are those of us with a Farmers Heart. We have a love affair with nature. In Urban life, nature is sometimes junk and what to make of this unsightly junk mixing it with plants and flowers, reclaiming it as new furniture with a slight twist.

flip flop pots
Flip Flop Pots
I love this it is fun. the pots are old and have scars and wear and I like look of them.
As the plants go they will flow out of the pots.
The top has an orchid in it because they are light. The top head piece came from a broken clay jar that had an ornamental top.
5$ worth of plants. I always buy my plants from the discount rack. You can get orchids for a dollar after they are done blooming. trust me they will bloom again.

Metal sculpture Em's style
This is hard to get a picture of that really looks good and shows the colors and size of it.
The theme is the "Tea Party"
The structure is a topsy turvy planter turned upside down.
What fun, this is what I do with left over Satelite dishes and some fun tea pots. looking like a root beer party with a small bird stoping in for a drink.
More fun here at the root beer bar.
To add some live music to the Root beer bar some silverware hanging from a set of old handle bars. It sounds wonderful just a light ping-a-ting-ting in the background.
NOTE: One leg is not yet used. still looking for just the right piece.
My Potting Friend
Meet my new friend Tillie, she is my new potting pal.
Nylon rope is knotted and then the pots are strung together. Then stuffed with spanish moss that we picked up on our morning walk after a wind storm. Her hair is dill growing in the top pot and with some added ferns she will fill out in no time.

Pot People
Pot sitters, what a fun place to plant some herbs.
Just some ideas of what you can do with some extra pots and old benches or old chairs.
The world is a better place when you make your own friends.
Potting area.
I happend into this great find and large quanity of pots and dish garden containers
on Craigslist for the low cost of 25$. WOW
There is also some bonsai dishes in the lot. So I am learning up on the art of Bonsai. Making my own potting medium.
Some very large pots I can use for either planting or using to lift other plants.
Now here is my contribution to the area a potting bench built from some new pt legs and the rest of it made from left over wood from the leftover slats from church pews that I bought from the Temple.
