Potted









Green Idea!


Our planters are HUGE. When filled with soil, water and plants, they are impossible to move. So heavy!

Thanks to my genius next door neighbour, I've found a way to make my planters movable and reuse some old recyclables.

First, fill the bottom of your large planter with empty plastic water bottles (I didn't have those, so I used other plastic recyclables: lettuce containers, strawberry containers, etc....).

Second, cover with a piece of fabric or other *false bottom*. I used up old tile samples from the reno. Perfect!

Last, fill with soil and plant! 
Isn't that amazing?! Am I the only one who didn't know this trick?


Have a great weekend in the sunny outdoors!
Don't forget about May Fair!!! I'll be sell, sell, selling cookbooks all day:)
