I'm doing all the 'easy' things first on my list of 40 before 40. A(nother) garden is on my list. The truth is, I've planted....and killed, many fruits, veggies, and herbs through the years, but this year I wanted to plant something I was proud of that fit 'me.' I can successfully grow jalapenos....this year I put two of those in the mix b/c I knew they wouldn't fail me. This was one thing on my list-really GO FOR a garden again, and I went back and forth about creating a box and filling it up in the traditional way. I may go back there again, but this year I tried this out. I had all of these things, except for the baby bath, lying around my yard or house. The baby bath is vintage from Hungary. I bought it off of William Sonoma when they had a sale going on...after I saw one at my friend Kelly's house. Each piece is upcycled in some way....an old stand with the tabletop missing, an old galvanized pale I had my brother drill holes in, an old coke grate I'm hoping cucumbers will love hanging out in....
Next up I'm going to make a planting station out of an old door.
In the meantime, I commit to not overwatering. Not forgetting it's out there, and doing a little research when the plants protest their new homes.
