Canned Vegetables

I cannot bear to eat canned green beans, but I think I might be able to make an exception if they came out of these cool tin can shaped planters from CB2. In the CB2 catalog they suggest planting the corrugated galvanized steel containers with grasses, but I think growing classic canned vegetables like beans, peas, tomatoes, and beets would make a big—not to mention ironic—statement on a patio or rooftop garden.

The Oscar planters come in two sizes—one is two feet tall and the other tops out close to three feet—and they cost $55.95 and $95.95 respectfully. If that’s a little too pricey, consider recycling real tin cans in your garden by planting them up with herbs or using them as cute, free flower vases.
