I followed the link she posted.  She replanted her pallet.  I like it even more on this page…

I love this! I think that I will just do flowers but where my garden is, is next to my concrete block wall of my house, it would be so pretty to look up at when I am in the garden pulling weeds!

I am cheep so I think I am going to try seeds in it and if that fails the plants. But I love the idea of the pipes down the middle for irrigation.

MaryB, I hit the wine glass every night.

Why be this juice the growth of god

who dare blaspheme the twisted tendril as a snare

We should drink it should we not

and if it be a curse

Well then who put it there?

This gives me another idea. I have a retaining wall around my garden place my DH made for me last year. I have wanted strawberries for years. I am going to place planters on the top of the wall and put my strawberries and herbs etc in the top planters.

 

You're ALL a bunch of genisuses you know. Thanks, its tilling day, see you tomorrow or later tonight. whipmachine-gun

Gorgeous!  I love the smell of allyssum. Super sweet!  Nasturtiums are a yearly favorite…pretty and tasty!

Wondering if I can lean a couple of pallets against the shady 'erosion areas' and plant some perennials/grasses etc.?  I don't want to ruin the natural Mayflowers, Blueberries or Wild Pear!

Strawberries?  Would that work in this?  I had been thinking of herbs in it, but strawberries would be wonderful!!!

What a genius idea!  We have several pallets and DH had been taking them apart for bird houses – but I like this idea even better!  I'm going to try straberries in one and flowers in another!

Handle every stressful situation like a dog. If you can't eat it or play with it, Just pee on it and walk away                                                                                                                              unknown
