More Green Paint In The Garden

I'm joining all the crafty types over at Funky Junk Interiors

for this week's installment of Saturday Night Special ......

and it's all about more GREEN PAINT in the garden!

About seven years ago a whole boatload of these infant bath tubs

came in from some Eastern Block country......along with some other

goodies that I'll show you some other time.  My daughter and I each

bought one at the SF Garden Show that year and transported them,

along with a baby, a stroller, plants, and some other large unwieldy

items home in a Cherokee.  It was an adventure akin to the Beverly

Hillbillies on the road!

If you've been following my posts for SNS the past couple of

weeks, you've seen me playing with paint in the garden.  I'm

done with the whole rusty look and now whatever isn't moving

is going GREEN!

Because the tub sits at an angle in the frame AND has a built in

drain (the pipe at the front), there is no need to drill drainage

holes in the tub.  And in a pinch you could empty out the

plantings and even bathe a baby!

Here it is in a former life back in 2004 with sun flowers and giant 

beets in the back.  The chartreuse sweet potato vine eventually

covered a good portion of the patio as it trailed down the sides.

Tune in next week to see what else might go green!
