Here you will see some pumpkin and acorn squash plants that only cost 50 cents total. I got them at atwoods during their 75+% off sale. Hopefully they will produce something!!!
This is the finished product. We didn't have a lot of space since I didn't get the ground tilled. I used my hand tools to till about a 10 x 5 foot area. It was enough to plant beans (by the net) and a row of okra and two beefsteak tomatoe plants. Then we looked up ways to container garden and thought to use recycled containers. That is what the baskets and buckets are... recycled materials. I drilled holes in the buckets and we lined the baskets with newspaper so the dirt would stay inside. It was pretty clever thinking.
This is what the car looked like loaded down. Dirt, plants in the back... and baskets in the back seat!
This is the gardents beginning. Last year, this is where our soft side above ground pool was located. The grass was killed and left a patch of dirt. Originally, a guy was going to till it for me to make a 25 by 25 foot space, but it got later and later in the season so we decided to go with the container option.

A different green! You've definitely been fickle on the backgrounds lately.
Good job on your planting. I still need to get mine in but now that summer vacation is here I can!! Yay!
Too much time... not to much to say. So while Evy naps, I play... I should be cleaning. :-P
