Pots in My Garden

 Flower Pots on my Garden Wall
 I have a lot of flower pots scattered throughout my garden.  Most of them were once light fixtures,
the type you might find in a school gymnasium, made from porcelain covered steel.  I once found at the local scrap yard a whole truck load of them

 about to be ground up and sent to China!  I bought them all, about 60 of them, took the light assembly out, made stands for them and turned them into flower pots!  Most of them I had powder coated the primary colors but some I painted myself.  They are pretty big, about 19" across and 14" deep.  I love them and kept 20 for myself, selling off the rest to good homes, I hope.

As you know, most of my garden is tomatoes, that is my lot in life, perfecting the tomato plant!
But I do like flowers and have them everywhere,

Painting on one of my flower pots!
even seven feet in the air!

Spring is here and every year about this time I plot and plan my garden, always with the task to make it a little better than the year before.  My garden is one huge canvas and where I do my best art!
