Here is a horse trough I found out in the country and turned it into a planter this past weekend with some succulents, cacti and sedum.  
The day after catching a lot of fish is still a good day.

Here is a horse trough I found out in the country and turned it into a planter this past weekend with some succulents, cacti and sedum.  Dammit, I have 3 old wheelbarrows the wife wants to set out in the yard and plant something in. Please don't let her see this stuff....  That does look nice though. 1 squash seed has sprouted, along with about 20 or so green bean seeds.
Some folks mouths, flat out runs their minds.

The only way that I plant mint is in a container. It gets out of control quickly.

The only way that I plant mint is in a container. It gets out of control quickly. I can attest to this. The previous owners of my first house had planted spearmint. By the time I bought the house, it had escaped and took over most of the back yard. On the plus side, I never ran out of spearmint, and mowing the back yard smelled like heaven.

I still need to get more mater plants and get some more beans and stuff out. Haven't even started thinking about melons yet.
I can't find the heat wave or 4th of July tomatoes anywhere withing 20 miles. Guess I will just have to stick with the wal-mart varieties.

I have two old wheelbarrows that I found at a house we bought a few years back...used them for planting sweet potato plants. It turned out pretty good, but be sure to have them wheelbarrows get some shade, or water like you never thought possible.

Nurseries should be getting the second round of plants now and then the third. The hotter tomato plants are usually in the late second round, first part of the third. They require a shorter growing period and don't mind the heat, thus the reason they hit later.

Good stuff right here. Our church has a community garden and I hope we can have this kind of impact.
