This year we'll (hopefully) know a bit more about planting and growing and most importantly the selection of things to grow. We definitely do NOT need 4 zucchini plants again ...NO-NO-NO! We still have the freezer full with zucchini from last year.
We are starting with pees and herbs this year (as for growing them from seeds) and the rest of the plants will be purchased as seedlings and planted directly in the garden, once the weather god allows us to do so.
It seamed like the plants we bought last year grew and produced much more than the ones we grew from seeds.
So yesterday, after fining this ingenious article on indoor planting and using household items to build planters, we were all game ... even Papa was on board ... yeaahehaeah!!!
ingenious idea #1
Phase I
design and construction
Phase II
ready for planting
Phase III
wait for something to grow
Take a large soda bottle ,cut, turn around and et voila you have yourself a nice, self watering planter.
ingenious idea #2
use a 9-pocket trading card sleeve and turn it into a seed starter
and as a plus for the Ls, they get to water it with a turkey baster :)
ingenious idea #3
... can't tell you yet, this is a top secret plan by the Ls,
we'll reveal once it grows and has been converted.
and while Pat and I were inside designing and cleaning up, the Ls were outside doing this ...
Those CRAZY Ls!!!
Despite the sun it was definitely NOT warm enough to be outside half naked not to talk about playing with water. My guess would be it was a toasty 55 yesterday.
By the time we realized what was going on they were already soaked and having a blast out there.
It only took about 30 minutes to defrost them in the bathtub afterwards :)
