I made these planters with 5-gallon buckets (drill holes for drainage) wrapped in burlap potato sacks. Can't find burlap sacks? Ask a restaurant to save them for you...that's how I got mine :) By @Nicky @dirtandmartinis

Love these doors. <-oh me too! Ingredients: "Cypress siding from an early-1900s Sears Craftsman painted green, wood from a 100-year-old barn, and wrought iron fencing to create the porch’s sliding doors. The doors slide on a new track, but the rollers are antique meat-hook wheels from a meatpacking plant."

Penny Calhoun After they sprout they don't need the humidity. You could use these outside, then take them off about 9 o'clock.
