So this is just for you... I hope you enjoy! First our family took your challenge to plant something we decided to build a planter box, and plant some vegtables.
I know you can tell that my husband, built it! It is nice and sturdy and big. He learned from our Dad. We don't have a fence around our backyard and we share with our neighbors. So I told Tyrone I feel a little White Trailor Trash with this huge planter box on our back porch. Though I know we will enjoy the fruits of our labor. The box cost us about 50 dollars. We got the wood on sale, because someone bought it and returned it. It was a lucky find. Then we got some dirt at wal-mart. And we got the seeds at Fred Meyers. They were having a half off sale! By the way we have a ton of wood left over. We planted some green beans, zucchini, carrots, and three tomato plants. Let's see what happens. OH, and some marigolds to help with the bugs. By the way I DO NOT LIKE marigolds. But they help.
