First put in my garden back in 2019
By Mike Thayer
The first frost for my neck of the woods is but a couple weeks away. It’s been a terrible year for tomatoes and much of the garden is now weary from harvest.
It’s a good time to start thinking about bringing some plants indoors, take some cuttings and harvest some seeds. It’s also a good time to address structure needs for your garden such as planter boxes, trellises, perhaps a cold frame.
Today, I’m cleaning up a whimsical piece of my garden, a “chair planter.” I first put this piece into use back in 2019, but it’s starting to show some wear, rust at the joints. So it’s in need of a good cleaning and a fresh coat of Rust-Oleum paint.
Instead of the flat black, I went with a Hammered, glossy black finish, just to dress it up a bit. I’m not into colors for my planters or containers, I like to let the flowers and veggies trumpet their colors, to strut their stuff so to speak. They are after all what we’re displaying right, not the structure/container?
All I had to do was give the chair a bath, let it dry and then hit it with the Hammered black spray paint. This new paint job should last for several years, making this a very low maintenance garden container piece.
