MOMMY SWEET MOM: Things In My House Thursday

Things In My House Thursday - Outside

>> Thursday, March 26, 2009

We're in the backyard again for this week's TIMHT.

I ordered this book a while back and finally got around to reading it and implementing the ideas:

My neighbor had some extra / leftover wood, so we used that to make some off-size gardening boxes. We bought the special mix for soil (peat moss, compost, vermiculite), then planted our seeds. Mini blind slats serve as the dividers and, voila!!

We're hopefully in the farming business!

Join us for TIMHT - inside or outside!Post, link, visit, comment!

Amy, a redeemed sheep March 26, 2009 at 12:55 PM: Holden is begging me to let him plant a garden. I just may give it a try with a few veggies. I'd much rather grow flowers. :o) We would remove the sand from the sandbox and grow the garden in their. Not a bad plan, huh?
Carol March 26, 2009 at 4:48 PM: Yippee!!! I am wanting to start a garden this year too. I love the square foot idea. What all did you plant?
Mrs. Charlotte March 27, 2009 at 11:42 AM: My husband does all of the gardening at our house. He has the prettiest yard in the neighborhood and works hard at it. Maybe next Thursday I will post some things in his garden.
MSM March 27, 2009 at 12:49 PM: Charlotte - thanks for joining; we'd love to see your husband's garden next week!
