WHEEL-BARROW

PROJECT

The other day I was on-line looking at gardening pictures, and saw several post with folks taking their old wheel-barrows and using them as a planter.  And that gave me and idea.  My hubby and I have a old plastic wheel-barrow that we didn't like very much because it would not roll when you placed something in it.  What good is that I ask ya!!!   

            After getting my sweet hubby's ok I started on my

                                   Wheel-Barrow Project :)

What did I do next you ask?  Well I went to WALMART of course.  The BESTEST shopping place in the WORLD, and selected some fine flowers for my project. 

Next I needed some drain holes in the bottom of the barrel.  So I borrowed my Sweet Handsome Hubby's drill.......actually he drilled the holes for me.  Such a kind man he is to me :) 

Flip and drill, so easy.  Notice this is my hand holding the drill not Hubby's.  I had to re-enact this part myself.  He was not available for pictures!!!!!  HA HA HA

DONE :)

Next the dirty work.....The barrel was very deep and I didn't want to fill it completely with expensive potting soil.  I got out my handy yard rake and gathered up some of those annoying gum balls, pine straw and dead leaves to fill the bottom with.  I hope it will be a good mulch for my flowers.

Next added 2 bags of Walmart's finest Potting Mix by Miracle Grow.  And spread, spread, spread it around.  Can you tell I like taking pictures?   It's a hobby of mine in case you haven't figured it out yet HA HA HA HA :)

THE REVEAL, AINT IT PURTTY!

Added a few touches of BLING-BLING for my BELOVED GRAND-CHILDREN to enjoy looking at.  A little solar light.

And a White Bunny

My finished Wheel-Barrow Project.  I think it looks much better now than just sitting empty by the side of the house.  Another good thing about it is I can move it around in the yard when the flowers need shade or cover from a storm.  Maybe I need to make another one!!!!

I hope you enjoyed me sharing my project with you through pictures today.

The land produced vegetation; plants bearing seed according to their kinds and trees bearing fruit with seed in it according to their kinds.  And GOD saw that it was good.

Have a blessed day :)
