I had one of those wine barrels fall apart on me. I took the 3 rings and was going to pour cement in them to make some large stepping stones, but instead I just layed them along the edge of a border and planted them with very low growing hardy geraniums. They made perfect rings of flowers and everyone comments on them. Now I have to wait till another barrel falls apart to do my stepping stones.

I just love that log. I have a huge tree that went down by the property line, I am going to see if I can find a man with a chain saw, it just is so beautiful.

Thanks for the inspiration, what great ideas you have. I love your articles.

That's funny Rebeccanne - who knows whether you will RECYLE the next barrel ring into more stepping stones or flower rings!

My favorite "container" for flowers were the mismatched 6 old wash basins I got out of an old shed at my MIL's. I put them between the grape plants and filled them will annuals. Great article Lee Ann.
