Look at what my man built for me :)
He made the whole thing from pallets that we found in town.
I need to get more soil and pot the rest of the starts. I have zukes and tomatoes and eggplants that need permanent homes.
Now all the plants are up off the floor and that big white cat has a place to sit and watch the birds. See him there? He loves to watch the birds. He flattens out like a rug and thumps his tail back and forth, thump, thump, thump. I know cats are obligate carnivores but I'm not going to let him terrorize the neighborhood birds and most likely kill them when there is no need for that. I am glad there is a screen so he and can watch them all day in safety. Safety for him, too. I see plenty dead cats on the road and I don't want him to be one. He stays inside. MIL got him some fresh live catnip in a little pot. You can see it in the lower left. He chewed on it but he chews the onions, lettuce and the lily too, and I didn't see him get blissed out in any way so I don't think he's much of a nipper.
Sunday night. I should be on the mat and I will be later but I just had to post the photo of the wonderful garden bench that my man made for me out of pallets that we found. That means it was FREE!
Oh, and I got a jump rope. mmm, more exercise!
OOh, thunderstorm!!!
wow, that's awesome! kudos to your man! i love that you grow in pots...very inspiring! i just started a square foot garden about a month ago and i'm loving it. i'm also growing some tomatoes, strawberries, and herbs in pots. those of you who still say, "my soil isn't good" or "i don't have the space" - "can" the excuses (and the canned veggies while you're at it) and grow your own produce! =) you'll be glad you did!
ReplyDeleteAMEN!
ReplyDeleteI want one, I want one! Pallet bench envy.
ReplyDeleteHad to come let you know: I was contacted by a chef on Martha's Vineyard today about teaching some raw and fermented foods classes this summer. Eeeek! :D
