Project Garden

Since moving into our new apartment last year, I'd been feeling a little disconnected from my beloved garden.This new place had a pre-made garden bed in the very back of the yard so we gravitated to that area to keep the plants. Everything has been going fine, but I just kept missing our old house where the plants lined the walkway to the front door and greeted me every day. So we decided to do something about it! Project garden was born. After a few trips to city mill to get supplies, we started building.

We ended up with a great new home for all the plants, and much closer to the front door and driveway. It makes it so much more friendly for me to visit them, water them and see them.

We have the sunny side lined with certain plants, and the shady side lined with the others. As for the garden bed, we do have plans for that as well, but a future post will reveal all.

Pineapple gets a haircut

Yes, this post really is about a pineapple that gets a haircut! :) I've started work now and perhaps my energy level is down, or my silly level is up, but either way, this is what you get today! You may remember that my pineapple recently had a baby. So I kept it in the pot, hoping that it would eventually have another. Right on schedule, a new sprout has emerged!

But the plant is so old and it's leaves were just getting too wild, so I gave it a haircut. Don't worry, the new growth was unaffected.
