On my way to church, I saw this backless bookcase had been put out to the curb. I asked at the house and made sure it was a 'giveaway' and said I would be back with my brother-in-law and his truck to pick it up. To me, this was a treasure, a ready made raised garden bed frame. Actually this was not a bookcase, but a bed frame, upon which a box spring or mattress would have topped. 80"x60". All I need do is get some cardboard to place over the grass (weeds really) and under this frame and add dirt!
In another part of town I spied these big IKEA boxes, also put out at the curb. Just exactly what I needed for the foundation of the raised bed! Cardboard covers the grass and the soil covers the board and the plants are happy to grow there.
On a different street I spied another 'bookcase' at the curb and thought, Perfect! I'll take that one too. This one is smaller, about 4'x2', but it will do just fine. I have other cardboard to use under this one.
Another freebie, from the same house with the IKEA boxes, was this plastic packing material which I needed as we are going to have a freeze tonight and I wanted to cover the plants that I have perhaps planted too early.
I am slowly filling the fiber garden bags, mixing my own potting mix from coconut coir, compost and Perlite. The bags will sit on the tarp, and I have one more large tarp to add to this set. Yet to be filled are three more round beds and 10 bags of 30 lb each. All of this in preparation for the last frost date and then planting!
Quietly in my laundry room greenhouse, the elephant ear bulbs have sprouted and I am going to have to get them planted very soon.

Thanks to you, today I planted Iris. I wasn't sure they were alive so I put them in a tray of water and kinda forgot about them. I checked them today and they have roots! So I planted each in a pot, eventually to go in the front yard. I will add more next year as it's too late to buy them now. I set up two trays with pressed paper pots. I'll be filling them with potting soil and then planting annual seeds. I want some color. I will be starting my tomatoes soon too.
ReplyDeleteGreat scores. So much for just a little garden, eh?
