Potatoes from Patio Pots!

I have joined the Garden Party at An Oregon Cottage.

Too, too exciting! We grew our own potatoes!

Beans and Frames

Bruce made these garden frames using slats from an Ikea bed (curbside find). There will six of the smaller size and just the one rectangle. They will sit in the garden plot next year and define the spaces. I like order and structure.
