Creativity in the Garden - Repurposing a Vintage Watering Can

I'm a collector of vintage garden tools.  Not for the antique value but for the charm that it adds to our garden.  This idea of hanging the watering can on it's side and re-purposing it as a garden hose rack really gets me excited to start working in the garden.  (from the Victory Garden Display at the Chicago Flower and Garden Show designed by the Peterson Garden Project.) It will be fun to think of ways to use them in new ways.  I past summers I've used them as planters, had them hanging along the fence, and tucked in among the flowers. 

What can you re-purpose for your garden or deck this year?
