What did you do in the garden today?

Very cute, Andrea!

Thank you!

I had a similar project last year with our old grill. However the bottom of the inside completely disintegrated so it essentially became useless. It's scheduled for a trip to the dump very soon.

Well that's a bummer! The shell of our grill was still pretty solid even after all these years, fortunately! It will be interesting to see how much longer it will last as an herb garden!

I hope so! The Asian Pears tried to produce 2 last year, but nope, they fell off. I’m hoping for a few this year. Everything else is too young. Plus, we are novices at this, so it’s learn as we go. My FIL has many fruit trees in another state (very different climate), so my spouse has some very basic knowledge from teen years when FIL was just starting the trees.

For the first few years I didn't get anything off of our asian pears but last year it went bonkers. The only thing I did was add compost on top of the soil with biochar. All of the fruit trees liked that addition but I really think they're a little slower to mature than some of the others.

I have an old washing machine sitting outside. I wonder if I should drill some holes in the tub and fill it with potting soil?

Everything is a planter to me right now, lol! Nothing is safe. If my husband leaves his shoes outside I may put some soil in them too.

I do a gnome tree every year, mostly from things I've made myself. It's so much fun ☺

My landlady has an old bathtub in her yard that she turned into a planter, and I've seen toilets on lawns with flowers growing out of the bowl. Why not? Lol!

Nothing much happening but scheming at the moment. This last week.... Well. Things went south hard and fast there for a bit. Light duty wasn't going to fix the problem, the problem was already beyond fixing sadly. I'm recovering, nearly feel normal again, itching to garden but we've moved up our moving plans in light of recent developments and now I'm scheming to get tires set up for an instant-garden. Probably be a painfully late garden again this year.... Oh well. I'll get a little out of it at least.

My chickens started nipping at my tomato plants, I wonder if I will get sick from eating their eggs?

So, I just watered the plants, pulled some weeds and that’s it pretty much.
There’s (Jewish) trick or treating this afternoon, so I bought some candy.

If you google street view our house there is a toilet with flowers in it in the front yard. It was gone before I got here, but I believe it might have been a FU to the neighbors as there was a bunch of drama before we got here.

The snow last night was a big bust, all rain thankfully. for the same on Mon/Tues/Wed!
