@HeidiS - I'm a fan of wide-brimmed hats with a tie to keep them from blowing away.
Here's another piece of "junk" in my garden. Someone had thrown this wheelbarrow away - so it was a roadside find that I lugged home (you know I can't resist anything rusty). It already had holes, so I lined it with heavy-duty garbage bags, punched a few drain holes in those, filled it with dirt, and filled it with sedum. Instant planter!
