Small Planter Boxes


Handcrafted small wooden planter boxes. 
This is something we started making during days we had some downtime, but didn't feel like big projects. 


This one was one of my favorites. I added rocks we found at a beach and a small air plant. It sits on my kitchen counter now.
                   

A few of them got some extra detail with the router. Some on top, some on bottom. Just that extra bit of detail really adds to the look.



Smallest are about 6" across and 3" tall. 
Triangles are about 7" and 4" tall. Rectangles are roughly 7" tall, 4" wide, and 3.5" tall. 
Square is roughly 7" x 7" and 4" tall. 
All are stained and sealed. $15 each.



   


Others had an extra bit of detail added in. A different piece of wood to really add a unique look.

Hand in Hand

Image
  Welcome. My name is Lanae. I’m here to share about gardening and cooking and all that goes with that. For me, and plenty of others, these things go hand in hand. Gardening has many types and styles. It isn’t just veggies or herbs. Let’s try growing okra or cantaloupe or loofahs. Maybe something you’ve never tried before. Make it an adventure. I enjoy cooking and eating. Kitchens are meant to be fun. Making chocolate from scratch on a whim? Why not? We can have detailed recipes or dishes that come from a wild idea. It’s good to play with your food. I plan on sharing things I’ve learned about gardening and cooking. Mistakes, failures, successes, lucky breaks. Occasional antidotes and silliness from daily life experiences. I hope you find something helpful, maybe the motivation to try something new, or just get a laugh from it. Either way, let’s learn together and enjoy the fun. See you around!

Zucchini

Maybe you're a fan of vegetables, maybe not. If you've not had zucchini, you've most likely seen it in a grocery store. It looks similar to cucumbers. It can grow much larger, though.  Most people pick them when they are young and tender. Maybe about 6" long. This is a nice size to slice lengthwise and grill or bake. The easiest way, and probably the tastiest, is to make zucchini bread. In my house, we make chocolate zucchini bread. The family insists that it's cake, but whatever. It never lasts very long and they're eating veggies. Here's a recipe that I've made. It's quite good. I do peel the zucchini and shred it before using it in breads. I find the texture almost melts into the bread that way. No big chunks or weird textures.  You can also sautee, roast, grill, stuff and bake, shred and mix in......lots of options for how to use zucchini. It takes on the flavors you add to it, so play around with it.  I like to shred it and bag it with about 2...

Seeds, seeds, and ONIONS!!!

Image
 Quick note: I wrote this during the spring, just so it makes sense with the temperatures.  A few mornings ago, we woke to 4 degrees outside. Today was 31. Since the temperatures are keeping me inside, I turn to my mail to find something good. Oh, lookie here! Seed catalogs!!!! This is the time of year that these catalogs start rolling in. I have had the Dixondale one for over a month, though. So, I get to flip through the pages and dream about this seasons garden and the, hopefully, bountiful harvest. If you aren’t familiar with Dixondale Farms , they are a great company to order your onions starts from. Their website has plenty of information to help you choose the right onion variety for your area. As well as info on storage potential and fertilizing/growing care. Don’t mind the mess, I only added to it. This was the onion starts that I had ordered a few years ago. 3 varieties with 1 bunch of each. Each bunch was supposed to have about 50 onions. I ended up with closer to 7...
