Mid-Summer Delight

I don't know about you but right about the 1/2 way point of summer, my container plants start to droop.

This maybe due to my non-committal watering habits or our soupy Ohio Valley weather, but I'm always wishing for more mid-July.
Here's a few creative containers I found recently:
What a great way to use an old piano!  Isn't this fabulous :)
I found this car filled with flowers outside a local transmission repair shop. 
But I think the bicycle is my favorite.  I'm hoping to do this on our back porch one day!

  7. I would never think to use a piano for a garden accessory, but it looks great. The bike is my favorite too!
