It has been a very long, hard Winter. The snow is piled up chest-high against the house, and our only egress is a warren-like maze of paths cut into the frozen white banks.
We are ready for Spring.
I was given one of these adorable little Pot Makers as a Christmas gift, and was excited to try it out. I had actually made my own many years ago using my father's lathe and a chunk of cherry. While I am still pretty proud of my effort, it was missing a couple of key design elements that made it not quite as effective as a store-bought one.
So Z and I gave it a go yesterday:
I have to say, it's pretty quick and easy! I used twine to reinforce the pots, and Z expertly filled each one.
Thirteen pots down, 211 to go! We should be done just in time to get our seeds started in anticipation of Spring.
