Interesting focal points in your garden don't always have to include terra cotta pots. See what you have around the house that would make a creative planter.
I like the contrast of old metal against the softness of the plants. Here is a vintage tea kettle with a young nasturtium plant. I've hung it from a wrought iron stand in a patch of bee balm.
Don't forget to put drainage holes in the bottom of your new containers, or make a layer of stone before adding soil.

Love your idea for using different things for planters. Have you considered using a worn out wheel barrow? They are great and usually the bottom already has holes, so you don't have to worry about drainage. :-)
Hi! Love the kettle planter* I love to use different things as planters. something quirky always adds that special touch .;-D
Thanks Jay. I like the hunt for quirky things as much as using them.
Thank you, Missysmom. Yes, I'd love to use an old wheelbarrow. Unfortunately, we are still using it as a wheelbarrow. It will have to have no bottom at all before my husband gives it up.
