So I decided to try and drill the holes in a bin today to make my composter. I was doing fine until I tried to tear cardboard to put inside. I don't know why I thought I could tear it, but I started hurting so bad. But that pain shot through my hand and up my arm. I'm laying down now, but happy to say it's finished. I have my cardboard, leaves, scraps inside and everything is outside. Small progress. I'll take the win.

I am so excited to be with you fine people. Thank you. I love flowers and plants and enjoy putting them containers so I can move them to the perfect spot not to mention the colors. I want to grow my on herbs but never have. I need lots of help for this beginner Happy to start this journey with you....

So incase you guys didn't know, Lowe's has a section where they put torn bags. Those bags are usually 50% or more off. Sometimes you can even grab the ones that aren't in that section that are torn, but I usually get an associate so they don't think I torn them. Plus they are usually where I can't get them n out.

Every year in the garden, or container garden has at least one new lesson for me. What is your lesson for the year? Mine: Lemon Grass needs more winter light than I can give it at this time. Even though it goes semi-dormant in cool weather, it needs temperatures above 50* F and bright light to survive. I can give it the temperature, but where I am has no natural light in the winter.
