Pansies
April 23, 2010
Pansies…for some reason every time I have said this word in the last week, my husband has chuckled like he is on an episode of Beavis and Butthead. Even though this is annoying, I wanted some color for our back deck. And currently, pansies are perfectly in season for Minnesota.
The first step in adding color to the back deck was to find a large planter. I had priced these things out at the home improvement stores and they are pretty expensive. Luckily, when Edward and I were at our first garage sales of the season this week, I ran across a big oil-rubbed bronze planter for $2. Score!
After a trip to Lowe’s this weekend, the planter got filled with a variety of pansies.
Have a great weekend!

I’m so not a plant person, but these are definitely cute! I like the color combo.
What a darling container…..wow you scored big. Great pot.
Cute as a button, yes! A tip about metal or iron pots. A liner pot made of plastic, will keep your metal planters from rusting. Also you won’t have to use so much of an expensive potting soil (which I like) if the planter is unnecessarily deep; build up with rocks in the bottom, plastic planter on top, etc. You probably know all that anyway. Have a great weekend.
I didn’t think about the rusting, but I did fill the majority of the planter with cheapo landscaping dirt we had leftover from a previous project. Only the top 1/3 has the good soil.
oh very nice
Wish I could do the same with plants, etc today……….snow, yep snow.
