Retired Tools

I just hate to part with old garden tools.
For a long time they just took up space in the garage.
But now they hang on the trellis and make interesting garden art.

The latest addition to the retired tools is an old garden nozzle.

I took apart the old nozzle and poked beading wire through the holes. Beads were threaded onto the wires to resemble the water. Now the nozzle happily does what it does best ... sprays a virtual cool mist onto my vines. I also fastened an old piece of hose pipe to make it look like it is connected to the tap.

Even the old handles from shovels and garden forks are put to good use.

Here one old handle makes a great flag pole at the edge of the composter garden.

Another old handle became the handle for my book rack.

Look at some recycled containers that I plant in.

Turn an old wheelbarrow into a planter.

Change an old hose pipe into a hosepipe wreath.
