dreaming of september

today i spruced up the soil in the old edition bed where the carrots were, and planted seminole pumpkin and malali watermelon. i also planted spitfire nasturtium seed in all the available cinder block holes.

i also took an old baby doll cradle i had altered while living in birmingham in my treehouse like apartment. i had the habit of putting soil in all sorts of things and planting in them....this contraption stayed with me. i had taken the "rocker" parts off and screwed them on the bottom to raise it up. it once held fancy perennials.....now it's a strawberry planter. i also snuck some nasturtium seeds in there. you can see it in the background of this picture, resting on a cinder block:

i've been cruising companionplants.com for a couple of weeks. they are a herb nursery out of Ohio, and man-on-man do they have some serious selection. i've been trying to get an order together that is under 40 bucks. it's hard because i keep finding new plants i want!
