Went out to work on my chair project while waiting (and waiting and waiting) for return phone calls. Glare Dragging a chair around for a few years, sitting plants on it and watering them, proved to be a great thing in this instance. Thinking I would have to get out the Sawzall to remove the seat, I found it rotted sufficiently so as to be able to pull it out by hand. Temporarily stuck the old enamel pan in it while the Swiss Chard is still growing. Once the Chard is done (it will take on new life and growth as the weather cools), I most likely will go ahead and plant the pan with the succulents and ? and put it back in the chair seat. It will sit flat with its handles holding it nicely in place (how convenient is that?) if I want to shave just a little off the wood where the front legs are joined to the chair. The old pan had very rusty spots in two places in the bottom making it easy to take a big nail and hammer and "create" drainage holes. This is too easy. Title this project, "Lazy Man's Garden Art". :lol:

Now if I would have remembered to move the Tidy Cats container out of the shot. Rolling on the floor laughing It's actually holding Elderberry bushes waiting for rain so the ground will be soft enough to plant. What can you do? Rolling on the floor laughing
