Memories

This picture brings me back to my vacations in Italy. My Nonna did the same thing. Love this idea.

It's raining again today, sigh!

Enjoy your weekend!

We used to plant in cans too...I saw some great big tomato plants in wooden crate baskets recently, and it was soooo cute. Wish it would rain here!

I have to agree with you. I love that it's a little ironic -- growing something that might end up in a can.

Hope you are enjoying your summer. The plants look so tempting sitting there in their perfectly themed pots.

Angie, our tomatoes are not doing too well this year - too much rain and not enough sun!

How cute is that!!! Recycling, art and a decorative accent all in one!
