Junk Garden Coffee Pot Planters

May 23, 2016

 I have planted annuals in old coffee pots for years now.  But, last week, I got the crazy idea to add wood stakes to the bottom of three old coffee pots.  


I purchased a 6 pack of rough wood garden stakes at Menard's for $5.00.  I made the stakes three different lengths, allowing for part of the stake to be in the dirt.  I attached the stakes through the bottom of the coffee pots with a washer and a screw.  I then thought the wood looked a little too new and applied some vinegar and steel wool stain.  (The recipe is all over Pinterest).

The bottom of this length-wise half barrel was planted with red zonal geraniums, bacopa and asparagus ferns.  The coffee pots were planted with a white compact nemesia, another asparagus fern and a red verbena.  How's that for adding vertical interest in the garden?

Then, to add a little more fun to my three funky, raised coffee pot planters, I stenciled a coffee sign from *Funky Junk Interiors Old Sign Stencils on barn wood.
