Mmm! Isn't that a great idea? It would be perfect at adding a little greenery to a small space and limits your watering to a very small area! Ok, so this totally wouldn't work in Kamloops (our semi-arid desert = too dry and hot for this one) but perhaps Fraser and I will find a lovely little apartment on Victoria this fall that would have a balcony perfect for this project! What do you think?
I've pretty much given up on my green thumb skills this summer since our front garden of our rental is a mess! My sweet peas and nasturtiums have barely grown/haven't sprouted and the nasty weeds are out of control! Add in my inconsistent watering, super poor soil (thanks to the dirt being the neighbourhood litter box despite my coffee ground scattering), and cruddy weather so far and we've got one sad little garden. My attempts at weeding were unsuccessful since after about five minutes I swell up into a painful lupus mess. Looks like the garden will be au naturel for the rest of our stay here! Looks like I will have to rethink some outdoor plants once we move to an area where I'm more likely to have some success! Bring on the rain! Which reminds me - anyone know a good place to get rain jackets?
For a rain jacket try Vancouver or Victoria. Okay, maybe Mountain equipment coop. Use your Dad's number. Mom
ReplyDeleteI love this idea! I have recently become interested in the idea of a small garden and this could be perfect. :)
ReplyDeleteThis is so cute! I see pallets around for free in our neighborhood some times, I should tell the boyfriend- he's the gardener around our house!
ReplyDeleteDefinitely MEC. I like this project, too, but I realised that you'd have to find really nice pallets if you wanted this to look really good.
ReplyDeleteSaw this planter a little bit ago!! Totally on my list of things-to-do once we move to our apt (which has a balcony!).
ReplyDeleteThat is awesome! What about trying some more deserty plants, such as succulents and cacti? They are pretty robust in the cold too...
