P-patch progress report

Paul, Madeleine and I spent a little bit of time down at our community garden this morning. Pulling more weeds, transplanting the onions that seem to be running wild in our little patch of earth, and of course adding to the compost and turning it.

Does anyone know what this is?

P-patch progress report

Had a little time this evening to spend at my p-patch spot tonight. Pulled a wheel barrow full of weeds, turned my compost pile and two more wheelbarrows of wet leaves and last but not least a wheelbarrow full of chips to the pathway between me and my neighbor.

Its P-Patch Time!

The long awaited email finally arrived in my inbox this week!  I've been awarded a 10' x 20' plot in Seattle's Interbay Community garden.  I'm excited to be able to have a sunny garden space.

Project save the plants is complete

My intelligent 15 month old daughter is now walking, climbing and reaching from the tips of the her toes to places my husband and I thought safe for at least several more months.  In a preemptive strike I started looking for a way to move my struggling house plants out of her reach. 

My first thought was to hang my plants in the window and then I had nightmares about 1970's macrome with all those complicated knots and beads in lime green, rust and burnt orange colors.  Then I found some promising leads on pinterest and then via the help of google I found simple easy to follow instructions at gleefull things .

Project save the plants....

So my daughter has just started walking in the last couple of months, which means she walking around reaching for things that used to be beyond her reach. My indoor plants have had a wonderful little perch on the window sill in our living room for quite a while. It has the perfect amount of light during the winter months. So my plants need a new home...and I don't want to spend a lot of money.


So I found this cool blog with instructions on how to make your own macrome plant hangers
