There are little bunnies, chicks hatching out of eggs, eggs, and spring flower shapes, and in the prettiest paper cups with a gold design around the outer edge. They are so pretty, I am saving them for future art projects!!! There is NO WAY I could throw them away!!!
This afternoon, I decided to set up an easy little garden patch! I used a clothes basket, put a black plastic trash bag inside, and filled with a mixture of potting soil and...
this mixture of compost with cow poop.
I poked holes with my car key along the bottom edge of the basket and planted the seeds (which looked like black eyed peas, by the way)...and watered. I broadcasted all the seeds in the package and planted 1 inch deep, as it said on the package. I took a folding tomato cage and opened it up flat and attached it to my fence, and where it slants down to the ground...
so that the climbing vines will have loads of room to go...on both the fence and the cage. There is enough room on the other end of the fence section, (and under the tomato cage set up), so I can add another one of these baskets when time to thin the seedlings. I came up with this plan yesterday and figured...what the heck...I'll give it a go. I truely believe it will work out beautifully. I am so excited to see just how well it really will work out (or not)!!! LOL! How's this for lazy gardening? I really just got tired of waiting for my collards to finish up (they are continuing to make more and more)...so I could set up the tires with all fresh soil. I still need to find a set up idea for my pole beans now...luckily they are of a bush variety! I am thinking I may just use the tires for flower gardening from here on out. I think it is so nice to look out my kitchen window and see some spectacular flowers...especially a type I can use for cut flowers. I want to do a miniature rose garden in one! :) Hope everyone has a wonderful Thursday!

Lucky you winning those delicious looking candies. Those papers are inspiring colors. Your planting basket is a marvelous innovation. I hope you have many meals out of that basket.
Yes, another Corgi but this one is a cardigan, they have the long tail. Mr. Kelvin was a Pembroke with the little nubby tail. Below is the Breeders blog and they have photos Ms. Decker with a big belly. They just had her X-rayed and it looks like 8 puppies. I should have added the blog to my posting. http://rinconcorgis.blogspot.com/
