I decided to cut a hole in something that has been hanging around our house for a couple years, something that was my son’s when he was a toddler and now I’m trying to turn it into an outdoor planter. It’s not going so well, in fact, I almost threw it in the trash but I’m working on salvaging it! What I thought would be an easy outdoor planter turned in to a lengthy project. Does that ever happen to you? With any luck, I will share it with you soon, I hope! Here are some easy outdoor planters I found that inspired me to create my own.
Who would have thought that a wine crate into a planter would make such a cute outdoor planter. Add a plastic liner inside and a coat of water sealer (spray or paint) and you have a cute planter. Love this idea.
You can pick up these plastic durable planters at Lowes or Home Depot and many of them are fairly inexpensive. This is a super easy way to spruce up your door way.

Those are some good ideas. I think you could do some potatoes in the garbage cans. I would start by putting kitchen compost in the bottom. Then layer it with manure, soil, newspaper, etc. Then a good layer of soil and add your potatoes. There’s nothing in the world like fresh potatoes! 🙂

Hi, I like your idea, I am a long time, DYI in the home, just starting outdoors.
Is there a place that you have told how you have done thing and I am just missing it?
would like to see the step by step on some of your idea:)
Thanku
