Potted Garden

After visiting a farmers market, a stall owner was selling lettuce and herbs in little round buckets. They had handles for people to carry them away, I said to Mr W, "That's a cool idea I would like one!" the reply "you can go to Bunnings and make one." 


So I did, well I made two. Brought too many seedlings and used an old recycled rimu box that I kept Jakob's toys in when he was a baby.


I also spent more then the $10 the stall owner was asking and got seeds to replace the lettuce we are going to eat. I was so surprised that they grew in 4 days not 7-10 days like the packet said.  Also having not planted seeds since I was a kid, I thought these are so small I will plant a few, I have overcrowding.
I do have a plan for those, but will wait for them to get a little bigger.

Garden

Even though it is the end of our winter we have had some beautiful sunny days,spring is around the corner so it is time for planting.


The cat got too hot. I also thought since I have my camera back I would try the black and white function.



We picked up some big Queen Palms.


Some springs flowers from the front garden.


We ripped out the old planter box plants for these. Not too exciting yet but we have big plans coming.
