 Uploaded for the "Jan where you live" side challenge.
This is a cow trough that I got from a scrap place. I knocked a couple of holes in the back side about a foot up, filled it about half full of oak leaves and put a few ferns in it about 8 years or so ago. So far I haven't done anything else to it, not even water it, except to pick limbs that fall into it off once in a while. It's hard to believe that they look this nice still, even with the drought going on here.
Not edited except to increase exposure a little and a touch of shadow lighten. Shot at 18mm with zoom and polarizer.

I like the fern tub. There is a real textural feel to this photo.

Nice piece of garden art in your yard.. Good idea to compensate for lack of rain as container will hold moisture longer..

I bet you got it from a scrap place!! :) This makes a great plant holder...I salvaged a much smaller one last year for lavender. Love those ferns.

Great shot of where you live! The ferns must like it there to thrive like that. I'm sure the moisture helps - here I can't get a fern to survive, no matter how much I water it.

Great idea for a planter. The ferns look very lush.
