Tomatoes and their need for water

I started may 28th planting 4 tomatoes around a garbage can with holes drilled in the bottom rim and a second row up about 10 inches... buried the can to where the top holes just barely ...»
were above the ground... put in two shovels full of compost... then I fill the can up with water ever 2 days and try not to water the leaves... these four plants are now 5 ft 4 inches in less that a month and a half and loaded with green tomatoes and about a hundred sets of tomato blossoms...

  • What use to be my dining room became my blogging area. So I get to enjoy a good net experience along with all my junk by my side. :)

  • The build consisted of two old sawhorses bound for the burn pile and an old ladder for the frame. It's as sturdy as all get out!

  • Some fun graphics and big bolts were added for an eclectic put together look.

  • The desk has a BIG secret... the monitor was sunken into the surface. Perfect for achy necks that don't look up so well with those monster 27" monitors. :)

  • Aaaand... the ever delightful before. Yikes!

My funky pallet ladder sawhorse blogging desk! (whew)

This rustic desk couldn't have been easier to build. All that was needed was a ladder, two sawhorses and pallet wood. The wall unit is a jazzed up Ikea shelf. Pretty easy! ...»

This is part of a 6 part series from design to the finale. Just when you think you couldn't build... I'm sure this will prove you wrong. :)
