I want a burn pit… no..

2013-07-03 20.01.16I want a big fire pit…  no…  I simply want to burn bigger branches than my little fire pit will hold so I’m just trying to figure it out.  Then I read you need fire bricks or a metal fire liner..  more to it than I thought…  hhmmm…

Snow shovels aren’t just for winter!

This was great for pulling dirt from the fence to level it off!

Straw Bale Gardening




Video: Make a Straw-Bale Garden Bed

Lettuce in rain gutters

Hmmm….  I think the first one that the water can drain from the top on all the way down is a good idea.  Another idea I thought of was to take a fence panel and attach it to the house on the deck.  Then make a pull up blind of sorts with plastic to lower when it needs to be covered and it will act as a temporary greenhouse.

I’m starting to like the idea of hanging them like the second on the right.  It would involve plant hangers and potentially be more creative than permanently attaching them….  and if it didn’t work.. I could hang flowers on the hangers.

It’s December 16th….

……and I’m working outside!  I need to put blocks along the back of the raised bed and
I thought maybe dividing it in parts would be a good thing…. 
In case I forget what it was like I included a picture of it with all the tomatoes last year….
and a picture of how I want it eventually!

Concrete block art

Check it out…  Concrete block raised garden beds decorated with tile or broker glass, dishes, etc.   How cool is this!!  I think it’s going on my project list which will get it done sometime in 2015!  I can get started by saving broken glass!
