Why don’t you make me?: Three-Tiered Terra Cotta Planter
With limited space in my small city yard every inch counts so each Spring I am faced with a decision: do I want pretty flowers or a functioning vegetable garden? I envision myself having friends over for dinner and quickly running outside with my schears to an adorable, and lovingly attended to, little vegetable garden- I’d grab fresh herbs for the potatoes, pluck some peppers and lettuce for the salad and maybe bring in some grape tomatoes for my friends to snack on before dinner. They just love that. Then, after dinner we’d all get in my spaceship and go visit Unitron, the home of the last living unicorn. In other words, it’s not going to happen.
What did happen however is this- a triple-decker half veggie/half flower tower of compromise. I’m taking baby steps to becoming the world’s best hostess by growing only the greens to my future salads and I still have room for flowers!
Here’s how I did it:
First, I invited Liz over who did everything. (This was an important step because Liz is wicked good at this stuff and because I have a cast on my right arm up to my elbow right now.)
Next, we took pots from the pot graveyard on the side of my house and selected 3 in decending sizes. (These don’t have to match perfectly, as you can see.)
Pick a sunny spot in your garden to place the biggest pot- we nestled ours right into this Vinca Minor- and fill with soil until just below the top.
Add a small dowel or bamboo rod into the largest pot and thread themiddle pot onto it burying the pot about an inch into the soil of the largest pot.
Then trim the dowel until about 3-4″ is showing to be inserted into the smallest pot.
And finally, you are ready to plant your Garden of Compromise. Liz and I decided on some green lettuce, purple lettuce, white & purple flowers, 2 small cascading plants and topped the whole thing off with a ponytail fern.
Thanks Liz!! ❤ ❤ ❤

Phantom Pharm Stands
For as long as I can remember I’ve always loved the adorable signs found at Farm Stands and cute little side-of-the-road shops. In fact, a lot of times I stop at farm stands just to check out their signs.
