My Christmas gift huge planter
This is my first spring enjoying my new planter. It is loaded with vegetables and strawberries, just the new plants. We did a lot of planting on Saturday April 16. Doesn't the cilantro in the front look happy? All the plants like their new home.
Above is our oldest son building the planter from the kit he bought me. He is nailing in metal grids to prevent gophers from tunneling in and we laid weed mat under the whole planter to prevent weeds.
Above is the box it came in from Greene's Fence Company, three tiered cedar planter. I could NOT have assembled this myself. I have no talent in that direction, ha ha.

How nice and a great way to give your plants a head start! Enjoy your weekend! Hugs!
Great idea, things are made so much easier today coming in a kit. I bet your son knew he would have to put it together.
Goo9d to see your garden growing.

Such a nice gift and wow....something you will be able to enjoy for several years...

How nice that your son is helping you. I like the 3 tiered planter box. Happy Spring.
This looks amazing! Well done to you.
How nice that you have help. We have four raised beds and the winter played havoc with them this year. We fixed them, but it was not an easy task.
A great gift from your son. I love the 3 tier planter. Looking forward to see your plants grow in the new planter.
Just to let you know I am now your newest follower on GFC.

Cool gift! Isn't it swell when people "get" you?

that was a wonderful gift!
thank you for visiting my blog today,,
What a treat in store for you, all those plants look so healthy and how nice to have some help too. Jane xx
Hi, Loved your garden boxes; our current yard isn't quite big enough for a garden. My two daughters have huge gardens and we often will plant things in theirs. I love cilantro and basil too. What a thoughtful gift from your son! You are blessed with wonderful weather year round. Here we can't plant until mid-late May, due to frost and snow. I do miss Ca. weather, but that is about all-except for some of the trees.
Have a great week.

Raised garden beds are a great idea - the plants are looking healthy! Thank you for visiting my page and suggesting the book Horse Heaven - I will be checking it out.
What a sweet gift from a thoughtful son...AND that he's building it for you! Happy Spring, Terra!!!

I guess it feels like Christmas all over again now:) What fun!
This is just the best gift! So neat! I love that he's building it for you.
Hope you have been well. I am still MIA for a little longer from blogging, but I do plan to return. We are still renovating, and it has truly been something.
Sending hugs to you and all good wishes for a Happy Mother's Day!
