Ok Ladies, I need your help:) A friend wants to give me an old cast iron tub that he has had in his yard for years. Of course my eyes lit up & started flashing like a crazy woman! My idea is to put it on a little hill on the side yard and plant various bulbs in it. My husband is in a constant state of rolling his eyes into the back of his head.
Does anyone have any pictures of something like this that you could send me so I can prove my point. Or any ideas to convince him.

Thanks SO much! I am SO happy to be a Mary Jane Farmgirl! it is like coming home:)

Brandy...I love the Idea! That is so cool! One of our Farmgirls has clawfoot bath tubs (like 2 or 3) in her yard...painted different colors and she fills them for cooling off in the Hot Weather (like a spa or hot tub). Flowers in your cast iron tub would be charming! Hubby will love it...tell him to trust you on this!

Susan...I went on that website and the bathtub planter page must have been taken down.

Hugs and smiles,

Brandee...I loved the second one with the big bubbles that were bowling balls. That was so awesome. Thanks for
sharing those!

Blessings,
