Patchwork Patio: A good day in the garden...

...I say that as though I were in the garden a bunch today, but actually I spent most of my day away from home. It was a good day for the garden, however, because I totally scored on a random pile of flower pots and boxes on the side of the road with a "free" sign attached to them!

This isn't even all of them, because I shared some with a friend. Granted, they are pretty beat up, but free! FREE, I tell you! Mega score for a Patchwork Patio like mine. Not sure what I'm going to do with them yet. There are more drainage trays than pots, so I may attempt to find some alternative use for those. We shall see. They need a good scrubbing all the way around. Lots of old spidery remnants in there. No spiders though, thankfully. Think of it as the kinds of spiders that move away, but leave their attics full of crap because they can't be bothered, and surely the next spider will find some use for it.

Also, things are sprouting in the lettuce and radish tray! I'm not sure what's what, though, because of that whole thing where my three year old decided to grab a few handfuls and spread them around after I'd planted nice, tidy rows. I think the heart shaped ones are radishes, but don't quote me on that. This is the internet, after all.
