Bike Planter.

Good morning and a chilly morning it is too! I'm sitting in my office looking out at the fog. An insipid sun is trying valiantly to warm the place but as yet it's losing the fight. :) It's Saturday and we're expecting about 20c; gotta be happy with that for a winter daytime temp! It's surprising how quickly it warms up once the sun is up completely.

Once it warms up it's out into the garden today, however there's not a lot needing to be done in the veggie patch. I bought some colourful plants yesterday to go in my bike baskets. That's the latest project here - a bike planter for down the yard. I'll whizz outside shortly and take a photo of the bike and the baskets I bought to go on the front and back. They'll be painted an off -white, as will the bike, and then I'll plant some hardy (hopefully) plants in them. It's a lovely old bike - a bargain on Gumtree for $20! The guys have stripped a few things off it so it's bare basics and ready to go.





The baskets should look lovely when these get a little bigger and start to cascade over the edges.
