I need to space them out more but you get the idea.
I bolted the white planters to the grill trays. |

bookjunky4life, your flowers are really pretty. They look so cheerful. I like your grill planter, too. Please let us see it when it is all planted. Thank you for sharing.

| Did you use washers for flower centers? They came out very nice! The grill planter is a great recycle!! Should like great when planted!Jan |

| I drilled a hole through the center of the flower and a hole through the stake. I then placed a small 1/8" diameter bolt through the holes. I planned on putting a nut on the back but the 1" bolts were a little short. If there's not problem with them blowing off, then I probably won't mess with getting longer bolts. |

| Yep, had a problem with them blowing off. I found several blown off when I got off work, so I took them all down until I can get 1 1/4" or 1 1/2" bolts so I can put the nuts on the back. My MIL also has several people that want me to make them for them for $$$. |

I like the cheery look of the flowers grouped together actually. 'grate' idea on the grill planter. It will look fabulous with flowers and trailing things in it!

| Ok - I guess I am switching to diet pepsi in cans instead of bottles so that I can try this. Very cute. |

| I've planted Laura Bush petunia seeds in the white planters. Maybe Alyssum in the middle? I've redone the flowers and spaced them out a bit more. Working on five more for my MIL to give to a coworker for her birthday. I also think I will bolt some flowers and butterflies to the front of the grill planter to doll it up a bit. |
