Have you seen those neat container gardening boxes called Earthboxes? This weekend we stopped by a nursery just to look around and they had a display of Earthboxes for sale. At $49.95 
, they are just a tad 
bit out of my price range!
Container gardening is something I really enjoy- no weeding, less work preparing, and you can "take it with you" when you move (which for my family has been quite often). So, I thought some of these Earthboxes might be just the thing...well, until I saw the price!
I showed them to my husband (who builds and designs things for a living) and told him I would like him to design some for me . Today I did an internet search and found this site with plans and photos of some homemade Earthboxes! Not as pretty as those at the garden center, but perhaps my husband can make me some that are pretty as well as functional 
. I'll let you know what happens there, but be sure to check out the "do it yourself" plans if you think Earthboxes might be for you! If any of you have plans or ideas for container gardening, be sure to share them. I'm always on the lookout for new ways to grow!
Blessings,
Catherine
