Homemade Planter Box Built From Recycled Pallet Wood - June 5th 2018

With the remaining bits of wood from the pallets used to make the table in these photos, I crafted a little 10-12 inch trough to plant some corn in! I probably placed way too many seeds in the dirt but I don't expect all those kernels to sprout. But I could be mistaken. Regardless, I will give it a try.

Moments after planting the seeds the evening rain swept in and prepared the seeds and dirt for germination!

My first home grown strawberry

A bit small, but packed full of flavor. With a little upkeep, next years bounty will be twice as many and larger.

Store bought pepper saved seeds germinating in abundance

We ate the pepper and saved the seed, I let the seed core dry out by the window in the kitchen and once I picked them all off the core for bagging, I decided I wanted to plant some, since I didn't have too much success yet with peppers.

Sure enough, a lot of those seeds were viable..
