While I'm still taking time each day to work on the panelled wall and music room, yesterday I found the inspiration in +10deg weather, and went outdoors!
As you may recall, I'm trying to work with potted container gardens this year because although we have a decent sized yard, there isn't any room to make a vegetable garden in the ground.
Pinterest helped out, as usual... and gave me two tips. #1 - use packing peanuts to take up space in the bottom and make the container a bit lighter. #2 - bury a pop bottle with some holes poked in it for deep watering during the hotter times.
The only trouble with #1 was that we bought the latest in packing-peanut technology... and they happen to be biodegradable, in water. Crap. SO, I put them into what I hope is a water-tight bag, and we'll see!
Dang you, technology! |

BEANS! |
Okay, back to my crown moulding!
I've also picked up some picture frames for the 'gallery wall', and have the paint for the trim. Keep sending your motivational vibes this way :)
Yay beans! Looking good - will you have other veggies in containers too? A whole row of those pots would look really nice :)
ReplyDeleteI actually already drew up the plan (see post linked) and will have 3 pots total. I'm using what I already have, and only have one of those. Hopefully tomatoes, peppers, beans, peas and carrots for us. I hope Cda Post delivered you some seeds? I mailed them weeks ago!
