I have always loved anything but a real "pot". If the article must have a liner then I acquise but the old days of the Folger's can and anything else my great-grandmother could find still sparkles in my memory. Nothing is off limits.
Have a veggie garden for the first time in years and Mitch (a fellow writer for DG) brought a small mattress spring to use for the pole beans.
Thank you for reminding us that it is a lot of fun looking at an article with a new eye.
Hi Lee Ann: Great article on using everyday items for plant pots. Don't stop there. You can use your imagination outdoors, too. I have seen people use lots of items that would have otherwise have gone to the dump. Plant up an old toilet, wringer washing machine (if you can find one), baskets, buckets, bird cages, baskets on old bicycles, take the seat out of an old wicker chair and replace it with a large pot of flowers. The list of things you can use is as endless as your imagination. The idea is to have fun!
