Not Quite Wordless Wednesday

Take one metal fruit bowl,

add a second metal fruit bowl,

 a coco fiber mat and some potting soil,

  and some heat loving plants, such as portulaca and hens and chicks,

 and you end up with a drought resistant planter!

    Great idea! I love clever re-purposing of materials, but I never have the imagination for them.

    Beautiful! And you don't have to worry about it if you go away for a couple of days! Happy WW!

    Great re-purposing - planters that don't need daily watering are the best!

    I would never have been creative enough to have thought to repurpose these wire baskets in this way. Very pretty!

    Fantastic idea. I really like the portulaca, it covers the container beautifully.

    That's really a great idea. My garden is a bit sparse as well as I try to figure out what to do now to fix it up....I think after this year of extremes, everyone is suffering this summer.

    Great idea. So many bloggers are in areas with a shortage of water.
