*laughs*...A LOT
You and I would be kindred spirits in many things but if we ever have to replace a whole toilet I would use the entire fixture as a planter...plants cascading out of both bowl and tank!
:D
Love the Verbena in the tank!

You should receive a city beautification award for that corner...it is THAT pretty!

I'm sure that former neighbor is happy she doesn't have to look at my toilets every day! My husband was a good sport to let me plant them. And now, they've become part of the corner.

Thanks! It's certainly an improvement over the black plastic, rocks, and weeds we inherited.

I had not noticed that your planters were recycled toilet parts
...your plants cascade and camouflage them well.
Your corner garden is, or was, lovely, as it will be again.
Mother nature seems to have the final say as to what she allows to grow...
and maintain, what with all the storms that blow through the areas.

Toilet tanks actually make very good planters. Very sturdy!

Mother Nature has pruned a great many things out of our yard. She giveth, and she taketh away.

When I come visit you, I think I will sit in your garden and just bask in the beauty.

Come in spring! It will all shrivel and get crunchy by August. It perks up again in the autumn.

I'll paint the porch swing, and we can sip tea.

That is a beautiful corner - and how very different from when you found it. And I rather like the porcelain planters.

The porcelain planters... I like the idea of recycling, and they make great planters. So many other materials won't endure our winters. These have lasted through several.
