Summer garden planted!

  • It has been way too long! I am finally back in my garden and this past week I got it planted. My garden is my piece of heaven on Earth and oh how I have missed it. My orange tree is huge and my pomegranate is growing great too. The orange blossom smells are amazing! My boxes are a hodge podge of old designs that I experimented with and my latest tried and true design that I offer here on my blog. I thought after three years I would need to replace some tubs, but those things are sturdy. I looked past a few cracks on the rims and got busy planting.

    I planted: cucumbers, basil, peppers, cilantro, lots of tomatoes, okra from seed, green beans and onions. I’m so happy to have my happy place back! Good luck with your garden and your happy place; let me know what you are planting this Spring. ~Melanie

    Love the summer garden! It all looks so good. Excited to see you blogging again, I love reading your posts and seeing your gorgeous pictures!

  • Hi! I just built my first planters! I made a small modification, since I’m on a patio, I added casters to be able to move it.

    Thanks for great plans!
