Home made planter

I put my boys to work. I want so badly my home grown tomatoes, the neighbors' make me drool every time I walk outside. Dan said "Done deal, what else you want?" We all went to home depot and the boys loaded up the cart while hads and I wandered.

Dan is just so good with his hands (hence the dentist, Orthodontic career) He put this baby together so fast. Hayden and I just held a board here and there. He bought some fence post, cut them up, put in a few screws and BAM! He whipped out a plantar box!

Kiddo turned this project into his bridge.

Painting. Go Holly, I picked out this paint on the "Oops" isle for ONE DOLLAR.

After we let it dry we added dirt, tomatoes, squash and a few pea. Cilantro and basil in pots.
Ten days later my tomates are a foot tall, squash(seeds) are 4 inches, peas(seeds) 1 inch and cilantro and basil have sprouted. Can't believe how fast they took off. I will have my tomates in no time!

Another little project. My super sweet neighbor gave me his son's old sand box. So we filled it up with sand. Of course it's a hit. I love it. Even though it so FREAKING hot here that the kids can only play in the wee hours of the morning or evening when the bugs are out. Which no amount of bug spray can stop them from drinking Hayden's sweet blood. It's a lot of fun doing simple fun projects as a family!
