You must think I have too much time on my hands.

I’ve been chitting (sprouting) seed potatoes for the last few weeks.

Decided to cut a few in half because they were so large.

Begged Mr. Denim to make me a potato “crib”…my words… {you don’t have anything to do today do you honeybunch?}

I saw the idea on Old World Garden Farms and wanted to try it this year. Roman the Garden Dog supervises every move. But he’s really looking for little rocks for us to throw 🙂

Mr. Denim loved this rusted faux windmill he saw at a local store so it came home with us.
I want a nice pot on the lower shelf…maybe strawberries or an asparagus fern that cascades down…must cover up that really cute water thingy below it.

Warming up my shoeless feet a few days ago…
