A few months ago, I made a treasure seeking trip to Scott’s Antique Market to hunt for large, old, beat up containers for my deck container garden.  My favorite location, Love Train Antiques, was just loaded with goodies.  I loaded up my car, drove home, and unloaded the fabulous containers in the garage.

Here in Atlanta, spring has finally sprung. So last weekend, I weatherproofed my containers, popped holes in the bottom, brought them up to the deck…..and voila!  Spring lettuces, broccoli, cauliflower, herbs, carrots, radishes and peas are now planted.  Thanks to Tony, my irrigation guy, all of the containers also have great drip lines in them which are connected to my irrigation system – the one that DOESN’T operate when it rains, just like it’s supposed to.

Here are some photos.  Happy Planting!
