Digging Dirt, Drinks & Dinner

This weekend started out productive.

 

We got the spot for the garden roto-tilled.

 

The girls and I sifted and pulled *most* of the roots out and moved our radish, carrot, pumpkin, tomato and watermelon spouts to their new home.

 

Saturday night my brothers and sisters took me out to a hibachi place for my birthday dinner... and drinks. Both were great.

The company was greater .

 

 

 

Grandma and Grandpa watched the kiddies.

 

 

Sunday was a complete bust.

 

I slept way too late.

 

Tried working on party invitations with my sister and had a ridiculous series of computer malfunctions.

 

No DIY project.

 

I didn't get any chores done.

 

Had a bit of family DRAMA.

 

Oh well...

 

Saturday was pretty awesome.

 

 

 

 

 



Stacked flower pots

I am not really into gardening but I am into cuteness.

 

My girls really wanted to start a garden this year, and I found this really cute PIN.

 

We did some planting last weekend and our little seedlings are starting to sprout.

 

Not growing fast enough for me.

 

We went out and bought some already grown for now.

 

Started by priming and painting some flower pots.

 

 

My dad stopped by after the second coat of purple and told me I should have laid cardboard down first... Oh well, it will grow out!

 

You will need a 4 foot length of rebar that will fit through the hole in the bottom of your pots.

Push (hammer) it into the ground where you want your tower.

 

 

The first, largest pot rests flat on the ground. Add potting soil and plants. Start stacking pots in opposite directions filling with flowers as you go.

 

 

LOVE IT!
