I saw the coolest planter on Pinterest that the owner said was a pallet. I showed the photo to my husband and told him I wanted him to take one of the pallets out back and make me a planter. He asked me where in the heck the pallet came from because he had never found a nice heavy one like that before. So I searched...........
Here's the photo I saw on Pinterest - photo credit goes to Indigo Garden Herb Planters in Germany. It took an hour or so to find the original photo on the Internet because it had been shared so many times! While there may be wonderfully fabulous non-warped heavy pallets all over the U.S. and the rest of the world, there are not in our immediate vicinity.
But, my husband built me one just like it from old wood he had left over from a Fort we built our grandson. Here is what you will need:
Nail the three chalkboard painted 1x4x47s to 3 of the 1x6x48s - these will be the front boards.
I would love to show it to you full of the herbs I planted but the rains and floods wiped out all of my spring plants...........I will try for some fall lusciousness. When I get them filled and beautiful looking, I will add that photo. I wanted to post this so you could have one too - it's perfect for an apartment balcony and very easily moved.
