junky flower bed

10 years ago

An old stepped pool that had sprung a leak. I cut the bottom level out and got two good flower bed liners.
You see the top level here. Dig it in, add a piece of weathered wood, a couple of nice stones and an old rust tricycle from a junk store --- ready for flower plants and a beautiful summer.
The little kiddy car in the background make a great setting for a large potted plant.

That is really going to look nice when the flowers get added. Love the rusty trike! and a very interesting piece of wood! Hope you post pictures after the flowers are added.
