Very nice! What will you plant?
in reply to Ghounds
Whatever seeds you can plant this time if year and I know French beans and carrots are one, can't wait.
This looks really beautiful! Thank you for sharing it with us. It reminds me of a doll sized cradle I was given when I was a little girl.😀👍🌈👌🙏
in reply to Activity2004
Thank you Leah, he's done a grand job and at present is going to make me 3 more, I might even ask for more if they'll fit in the garden😉. Now that would have been what I call a proper dolls cradle you had, not plastic 🛌
Activity2004 in reply to
That's right! To this day, I still have the cradle. Plastic would have broken.
Yes, having more than the upcoming 3 sounds like a great idea. How long do they all take to do? 
in reply to Activity2004
Aww that's so lovely you still have it Leah.
He's started to make another today and he's only got the base to do and then to treat the wood so they are quick to make.😊🌈🙏

That’s great to hear! Same shade of wood?
in reply to Activity2004
Thank you and yes same shade
Hi cf, this looks very professional, your hubby has made a really good job of it. x
in reply to springcross
Thank you, I'm very pleased. He also built the shed we have in the garden. xx
Lucky you. Will you be the gardener crazy? The Outcome....... He made the trough, you sow the seeds/plants, You both eat the food! A win, win situation!
. Don't forget to show us what you grow.
Xxx
in reply to RoadRunner44
Yes it'll be me doing the sowing and eating as I'm the veggie eater, our diets are very different, the more veg I can have the better xx🥒🍆🥕🥔
RoadRunner44 in reply to
All that exercise and all thar good food must make you healthy inside and healthy outside.
You have a healthy lifestyle crazy. What, with a loving husband and family what more coukd one want.?
Xxx
in reply to RoadRunner44
Aww thank you, I love my veg hence wanting to grow it.
I know, I'm so fortunate. Been out on the bike again today.
Alicia xx🙏🙏🌈😊
RoadRunner44 in reply to
Out of interest Alicia, how old is your bike? As you use it most days it must get a lot of wear and tear. Do you maintain it yourself?
Xxx
in reply to RoadRunner44
I only got the one I have now last year. I gave it a good clean yesterday and put some WD 40 on the chain.
Where I bought the bike carry out the service but I want to learn how to do this myself.
Alicia xx🚴♀️
RoadRunner44 in reply to
It would be very useful if you could learn how to do it yourself (helped by your lov ing husband maybe). It would save a bit of cash too I suspect!
Cheers, and goodnight. Xxx
in reply to RoadRunner44
It really would and that's my plan. Hubby's very helpful.
Good night to you as well xx

Yes, he's done a really professional job of it, very nice. They look a nice size. It will be fun growing a variety of veg in them. Have you decided what to grow in them yet. 😊🌼🌻
in reply to bobbybobb
Thank you Bobby, I'm very pleased with it. I'm going to look up to see what you can grow this time of year but I know French beans and carrots are two of them xx🥕🍆🥒🥕
Impressive, he’s done a great job 👍🏻

Thank you, I'm very pleased with it 🌈🥔🍆🥒😊🙏

I bet you are, I can’t wait to see the veggies 🌶 🌽🥕

Oh they'll be posted on here🙏🌈😊
This looks brilliant!! My hubby loves making things out of wood.
I thought I'd pressed send an hour ago!!!
All my love Lynne xxxx 😘♥️🤗🏵️
mattymoo33 in reply to
Lynne, he can make me a planter anytime. Name your price 🥰🌈
in reply to mattymoo33
😉he made two units in our front room , half the price of housing units 👍xxxx
mattymoo33 in reply to
Ooh, I used to love a wander around Housing Units. Me and my mum would go when I went home. Have tea and cake in the cafe 😀 xx
in reply to mattymoo33
Yes, the café is lovely!! Xxxx
in reply to
Thank you Lynne, he loves making things, he made our garden shed a couple of years ago. Isn't it good we have very resourceful hubbies.
I've done that before, written something and not pressed send.
Alicia xxxx😊🙏🥒🍆🥔🌈💜
Brilliant! What are you going to grow? xx
That does look nice. I can almost see the veggies growing now.
in reply to daveh121
Thank you Dave, I loved the look of your garden that you posted.🥕🥒🍆🥔🙏
Lovely. Is he taking orders for them? I wish my fella had time to build me one as they're horribly expensive. Look forward to seeing pics of your produce 🍓🥦🌽🥕🍅🌶️xxx
in reply to mattymoo33
Thank you for your lovely comment, he does love making them. I know things are very expensive in store.
Yes I will post pics of the produce.🥔🍆🙏🥒🥕🌈
It looks very handsome. I found mine last longer if they have some drainage holes in the bottom under a layer of gravel and they are standing off the ground on a few bricks.
Elizabeth.
in reply to Sierrastar
Thank you Elizabeth and also for the excellent tip. He's made drainage holes so I'll pick up some gravel as well.
Alicia 🥕🥒🙏🍆
Sierrastar in reply to
🥰
Wow. Lucky you! 😁
in reply to Agoodenough
Thank you Ali, that's one of four made, I may even ask for more if I can fit them in😉🥒🥕🌈🍆
That looks really nice. It is good to have DIY in the family. My son has made some for me and my husband made me two tall ones out of an old barbecue. It looks amazing. What are you going to grow in it? I have lettuce and spring onions in one and going to plant radish and beetroot in the others. x
in reply to Sheila_G
Thank you Sheila and yes it's very handy, there's one thing my hubby doesn't do and that's plumbing, he does everything else. He made our garden shed from scratch, built the patio etc.
Both your husband and son sound very resourceful and clever, well done to them.
I'm looking at French beans and carrots and whatever else you can grow this time of year. Now beetroot, definitely one of them as I love it.
Alicia 🥕🥒🍆🌈🥔
They look amazing, need to give my hubby a nudge to build some
in reply to jillydabrat
Thank you, I'm very pleased with it and he's working in the garage now making another one.
What a fantastic job he's done Alicia! He deserves extreme credit! 👍🙏
in reply to
Thank you Hidden , he's in the garage making another one now - yay. He's so good at woodwork and many other DIY jobs.
Looks Great, I’ve been thinking about growing a herb garden, tired of buying herbs that don’t last long
in reply to Want2BHappy3
Thank you and that would be a very good way to grow your own herb garden, the herbs in the shops don't last long at all, I tend to freeze them.
Aww thank you, he really enjoys making anything out of wood
