My Weathered Gray Chair 2012

July 10, 2012
"My Gray Weathered Chair" was first featured on my blog HERE. I love planting in the chicken wired seat, lined with either moss or coco liner.


This year the only plant in the chair seat is a hot pink superbells calibrachoa hybrid.

Along my with other calibrachoa and petunias, this plant has been plagued with first cutworm caterpillars and then aphids. Now, it is coming around and filling in.

The wooden garden angel was a thrift store find earlier this spring for $4.

I broke the heart off of her shoulder and removed the birdhouse and Spanish Moss she was holding and added an old spoon that reads "Bless the Blooms".

She has her work cut out for her this year. (I have never had a cutworm caterpillar attack! Just a stray caterpillar here and there.)




I hope this calibrachoa fills in even more in July and August, before the Minnesota September frosts!

  3. Ooo Carlene, love that!! I just found a similar chair in my parents smokehouse yesterday and since it needs re-caning, I might just try this.

  4. Hi Carlene: I love this chair with the angel. Did you make the spoon yourself? I always wanted to learn how that is done. I see them everywhere. I purchase one and it was $10. I thought that was a bit pricey. Have a wonderful week. Blessings, Martha

  8. Your garden angel is so cute. Like your changes in her and your Calibrachoa looks good in spite of the cut worms.

  9. That weathered chair is the perfect shade of gray to set off those pink blooms! I'd love if our fence was that same weathered gray, but unfortunately I'm stuck with bright cranberry. Ewwww.

    I think the only thing the worms got were all the morning glories I planted. I probably won't have a single bloom!!!

  20. You made her look so much more purposeful and wonderful... less country and little more "junky" - in the best way. I love how she is keeping watch over your troubled flowers.
