This weekend one of my best friends Shannon came to town. Every year I have made it a tradition to drag her around to various pumpkin patches looking for the perfect pumpkins for one project or another. This year I wasn't searching for anything specific but would hate to break tradition, so I took her with me to pick up a few pumpkins, knowing that I'd come up with something to do with them.
After last weekends landscaping project we had a few leftover mums and I'm too cheap to buy a planter for flowers that I will inevitably kill so I decided to make my own planter using a few of my new pumpkins.
Step 1: Draw a circle along the top of your pumpkin which will be the opening for your flowers
Step 2: Scrape out the insides. Most people would put some newspaper down or something, but im
Step 3: Rinse the goo off the pumpkin and flip over. Then either drill or hammer some holes into the bottom, this will allow for drainage when you water your flowers.
Step 4: Fill with soil and flowers
Step 5: Rinse soil off of the sides, and place wherever you want!
I made 2, one for my front yard and one for the bistro table in the back.
I love them, and think I can officially say my house is pimped out for Fall!
