Building

Again, this was a difficult topic to think of a picture for, but my mind gravitated to about a year ago and a gift that was built for me.  As I was turning 30 (on March 30th, almost exactly a year ago), my wonderful dad built me some garden boxes for our new house.  We really want to build a garden someday but haven't had the time/money so far to do it.  So, I made do with these and a whole bunch of pots and turned out backyard into a haven of greenery.  Here's a little pic:


And, to check one more thing off my list, I planted 72 seedlings to pot into my boxes (I may have to find more space to plant them) once the weather has nicely warmed up.  Right now they're basking in the warmth of my laundry room until the weather decides to actually turn to spring.

  1. Pretty! I'm hoping to start a potted vegetable garden this weekend. Got any tips?

    When are you testing, my dear?

  2. Seedlings are kale, turnip, swiss chard and squash. The only tip that I keep hearing is not to put our your plants too early. Wait till the soil is warm enough.

  4. My Great Grandpa was an amazing gardener. He always told us to do our planting at the first full moon after Easter. Beautiful garden boxes!
