Ever Tire of Flowers?

I don’t.

Here’s a little project that I did a while ago, but I wanted to wait until it was all in full bloom to take pictures.  I can’t remember where I saw this idea.  It was quite a while ago on the net, and probably a blog somewhere but it stuck in my head until I was able to bring it to life for myself.

A couple of old tires and a plain shed wall become blooming art!

Start with a couple of old tires… drill some holes at the bottom for drainage. Fix to the side of your shed wall with some HUGE screws and washers.  Fill with potting soil.

These are Eco-Friendly and because the tires hold the heat, the flowers are protected on those chilly nights.

Watch neighbor's stare in curiosity at your madness!

Watch neighbor’s curiosity turn to envy.  (hehe)

Just a random shot of a little clay pot sitting inside my patio canopy. Love the colors.

Just maybe… the neighbors don’t think I’m crazy anymore.

** (later that summer) **

I had to put this update in.  As the flowers fill in, it looks more and more beautiful.  I think I’ll update again in another month!
