As a kid, I always thought that Saturdays were supposed to be for rest and relaxation. And I was almost always wrong. I would either end up picking up pine cones or shoveling out my room. However, now I love it when Saturdays are sunny and it means YARD WORK!!

I found out the hard way that galvanized tubs are not good planters, unless you drill holes in the bottom. Otherwise they fill up with water and drown your plants and grow algae. So that was my first project of the day. My dad and I drilled holes in the bottoms of both my planters, then I filled them with small rocks to improve drainage. I only had enough dirt to fill one on them, but that will be remidied shortly.

Improved Drainage
Second project of the day was planting my veggie garden! We went to Home Depot and I picked out my tomato plants and my cucumber seedlings.

I am so happy with the way it turned out. Now all I have to do is keep it alive...
