We went to the store today... well many stores.
We decided to plant a patio veggie and fruit garden.
We bought
6 garlic plants
6 walla walla onions
1 red bell pepper
1 Japanese Eggplant (We neither one have ever had them so this is the new veggie of the season for both of us)
1 pineapple sage
6 cauliflower (but we are going to give at least 2 if not 3 to our neighbors)
6 snap peas but we put them in one hanging pot
12 strawberry plants that will hang in 2 pots
We are still looking for the zucchini plants I need 2 and they will be in a large pot and I will need a trellis for them.
We also have
1 mixed daisy plant with shasta and painted daisies.
1 pansy petunia mixed pot
1 really pretty pale yellow flower plant
a pansy mix that is going to be in a cute little chair planter.
We bought 3 small plant stands that go with the chair.
I was given this metal cut out of silhouette men playing instruments on top of musical notes bar. I will take a picture of it soon and post it. I have some work to do on it to straighten it out (parts of it got bent) and to repaint it. We decided to do a theme on the patio of an old music coffee shop.
The food garden came about because Amanda wanted to grow strawberries. So of course I wanted to grow some veggies and then as we were walking through we decided to grow the stuff we eat daily.
We did this low budget and bought the hanging pots and the plastic pots at the dollar tree. We got some nice looking ones surprise that they had them at the dollar tree.
We bought the chair at Rite Aid for 50% off so that was 10 bucks.
We found little plant stands at Walmart for $3 and They go with the chair and hanging pots. They are all black metal wire.
Amanda ordered a black coffee cart plant stand on Amazon it holds 3 pretty good size pots.
While at Lowes Amanda found a waterer that looks like a tea pot. so that will go with our theme pretty well.
I want to make a table that is like a box with the top being glass so you can see the stuff in side.
I want to make music notes and coffee cup shapes and lay in the box on sand of something then fill it with our rocks we have collected throughout the years. We would make the table coffee shop small just big enough for a place setting for 2.
The frame part of the table will be black, not sure what accent color yet but out planters are a light burgundy and dark green.
I need a few more decoration ideas for walls out there. I am thinking music notes ans maybe an old vinyl record or 2. maybe do a coffee painting or something. -not sure what to do.
I also have to make a dog screen for out there because they gadget can walk right under the railing. I am going to make it out of lattes stripe and black screen door screen. make panels and hinge them together so they fold like a paper fan. It will be free standing so 1 we don't have to drill holes into the railing and 2 easier for use to make them and to store them when not in use. Have to do them in a tasteful not tacky way.
and I bought a new hummingbird feeder
