even more garden projects

Now that Mothers day has past I feel better about putting out more plants.  Illinois springs are notoriously unpredictable and I usually don't put things except cool crops before Mom day.
This was a project iIthought would be a fun way to use up more of the large cans our school lunch lady gave me.



mesh trash can from the $store




weed barrier also from $store




Plant herbs in the tin can, be sure to add drainage holes.  Line the trash can with the weed barrier, tuck moss down between the asdes of the barrier and the trash can.  Put in a half a brick to lift the cans up to the top.  Add planted can and tuck in more moss for a finished look.  Not counting the plants this is a cute container for less than $1.50




The herbs will fill out very soon and the container will be full.
