UPCYCLED BEVERAGE BOX

I was going through my dad's things and came across an old A-Treat beverage box.  It's beautiful and I really wanted to use it at my house somehow.  I sat it on my porch, filled each container with dirt, planted a few flowering seeds and crossed my fingers.  It has yet to bloom, but the colors look amazing already.  I love how it looks so far and look forward to updating this post with actual blooming flowers!

MOTHER'S DAY GREEN

Again for Mother's Day this year we all worked hard on my garden.  Mr. Construction tied two of my raised beds together creating a third bed and (yay!) plantable area.  This year I'm planting tomatoes, peas, strawberries, oregano, squash, eggplant, dill, lavendar and more.
