Mother's Day Planting

This year for Mother's day, I wanted to do some planting. I dream of a large yard where I can garden. But for now, I will settle for boxes. I did learn of a new planting devise called the topsey turvy. Instead of planting vegetables in the ground, you can plant them in these fancy planters that hang up and the plant grows upside down.

Well, I am cheap and I made mine for about $3. So we all went to Lowe's and bought plants. Levi wanted blueberries and strawberries. I wanted yellow pepper and zucchini. Josh wanted tomatoes.


Levi and Josh cut holes into the top and bottom of three two-gallon buckets. With the bucket upside down we placed the plant through the hole in the bottom. Then, very carefully, Josh held the bucket right-side up while I filled it with dirt. Here are the finished products.

These plants have been growing great! I have tomato, strawberry and zucchini buds! Blueberries, well, we will have to wait and see about those! At least there are plenty of u-pick farms in the area!
