Remember these cute flower planters i painted?! I swear this project has been stretched into MONTHS it seems like- today i couldnt stand it any longer and picked up some flowers. With it being so cold still, they dont have a large selection, but they needed SOMETHING to tie in with my golf themed front porch. - My dad always told me when gardening, different areas of your garden and yard are like seperate rooms. This has been made into a golf room for the moment-
The thing about a room, is the colors should Flow.. too many colors= chaos!! I wanted white, green and yellow for flowers, but the white would have faded into the bench- so i have a pop of purple in there instead. - i love how it all turned out.
A little trick so you dont use soooo much planting soil and to help drainage when you water, is to put packing peanuts at the bottom of your flower pot- I ended up using WAY more soil, but to my dad that's music to his ears because he can use the soil for the urns on either side of my front door in a few weeks ;)
I'm not completely done with my golf decorating- the mailbox and a few other things need to be tweaked - out here in the south the mailbox gets done too... in Oregon, you'd be afraid it would all get stolen, right? Lol.. dont hate, its so true!
