Yesterday's Finds

Two major scores yesterday. First, got 5 full sets of used scrubs off Freecycle from a very nice young woman in Hollywood to wear around the house and when working in the yard. And they actually fit me, which is hard to do with my 5-foot, 92-pound frame.

Glazed ceramic planter for peach tree.
Not a bad deal for $29.97.
Then, about a month ago, I'd been to Costco with my dad and had seen some attractive glazed ceramic planters big enough to hold trees for $50. Neither of us had the strength to lift them, so I had passed on the purchase at the time and decided I'd bring Mickey back with me another day. What else are husbands for but to lift heavy objects? My intention was just to buy one for the poor peach tree that has miraculously survived in its nursery pot with daily watering. We got to Costco yesterday to find that the pots were marked down to $29.97, so we picked up 2. I'm sure I'll find something to plant in the extra one. I'm thinking a Meyer lemon since the dogs methodically de-barked and killed the one I planted in the backyard 2 years ago.

What fabulous pots and an even more fabulous price. It's soooo much fun to find a bargain. Enjoy your new pots.

I love Costco! And what a great bargain. We recently bought some ceramic pots at AC Moore for $5. But they aren't that large.

About Me

My Photo
I'm an almost 50-year-old woman trying to create a more sustainable lifestyle for my family on our less than 1/5th acre urban homestead in south Florida. You're welcome to follow our journey as we attempt to grow as much of our own organic produce as our little yard can take, raise backyard chickens for eggs, compost, and amusement, try to reduce our carbon footprint, learn to preserve food by canning, freezing, and dehydrating, and hopefully turn our little urban homestead into a profitable venture.

About This Blog

My Edible Yard was created in an effort to spur myself on while publicly journaling my trials, errors, and successes in the creation of our urban homestead. The key word here is publicly as I am famous for zealously starting projects and then abandoning them. In making my south Florida urban homesteading experience public, I hope to force myself to continue on with the project and actually create a more sustainable life for my husband and me. So please send kind words of encouragement, gardening and cooking tips to keep me going. They are all much appreciated.
