What a perfectly novel & unique idea! I love it!

And Sheryl, that's about the 3rd time you've cracked me up tonight.

I always love that red shoe, Lynn.

Planting in shoes is fun!

Nice, Tee!!

There are two ways to live your life.
One is as though nothing is a miracle.
The other is as though everything is a miracle

And now I'll look at shoes at garage sales in a whole new light!

Thank you all.
Sheryl, give it a try, they might just love your shoes, after all they loved mine.

Janice, don't you have a planted shoe?

Tee I love the baby gators. : )
When I bought those shoes for gardening I wanted to make sure I would loose them, so they are neon pink.

Come on Ann, lets see what you come up with for a planted shoe.

Here is an old wooden shoe I found at a yard sale years ago. Drilled a hole in the toe and planted it.

Lots of time this winter for us all to come up with ideas of shoes we can plant this spring.

Yes, baby Crocs, aka gators.

Lynn, now that I look closer, I can see it's hot pink.

Luv the wooden shoe ... is that some type of Jovibarba in it?

Here's my next project ready to plant as soon as I get drainage holes drilled or punched in the soles. Picked these up for $2 at a yard sale a few weeks ago.
Yard sales in winter ... they are the best!

Also picked up three old bowling balls at the same sale to use for yard art. And some wonderful homemade pickle relish. You just never know what you are going to find at a sale.

I garden for the pollinators.

Lynn, I WAS thinking about a wooden shoe as I am 1/2 Dutch & of course am not ABOUT to actually WEAR a wooden shoe so now I have found what I can do with wooden shoes!
