Construction of Sun Loving Barrels on a hot July day
The challenge is to create something colorful that will thrive in the South Carolina sun on a patio or deck.
The tools are some empty barrels, a lot of soil, colorful sun loving plants and some ideas.
The bigger challenge is working in the 90+ degree heat in part-shade!
-
- Start with an empty barrel and an assortment of plants.
-
- A great barrel planter on rollers
-
- Without good soil, the plants will not thrive.
-
- Place the first plant and go from there.
-
- Keep adding plants and adjusting.
-
- Looks right & feels right. On to the next.
-
- Another barrel and more plants
-
- Second one is easier
-
- Third one comes together quickly.
-
- Rose colored zinnias and yellow petunias
-
- Yellow & orange zinnias with sweet potato vines
-
- Both zinnias and petunias do well in the sun
