This post is about gardens and the lack of gardens and the building of gardens and gardens.

So I have been wanting to grow some foodstuffs for me and my future wife, because we will be married by the time anything planted now is ripe for the picking.  However, we will be moving at the beginning of May, which is after the time some of these things should be planted.  To solve this problem I have decided to build a garden, kind of.  I found some old cabinet speakers

at Gift and Thrift that I am re-purposing (or 'upcycling,' if you will) into planters.  Well, one of them will be a planter, the other is just going to sit around until I do something with it.  I have it gutted and ready for some plastic and some dirt and then some seed, and I took a couple pictures so I thought I would share it with the world.

I have wanted to grow things myself quite a bit because I have started trusting supermarket grocery store produce stuff less and less, you just don't know what is in it.  I'm afraid of becoming an organic crazed person.  But I will still eat most anything purchased from a supermarket, I would just prefer other, more homegrown things.  Hopefully it saves a little money as well.  This is my life.

This is the inside of it after I disengaged the speaker in there (I used the speaker magnet to hold all the screws, it was very convenient).  It was full of insulation stuff.

So I gutted it out.

And took of the front cover.

And added some nails for extra corner support because it was poorly made.

Then I put the back on again and drilled some drainage holes in the bottom with a screw driver, screws, and hammer since I don't have a drill.  My forearm is sore today.

And now here it sits, waiting for waiting for the dirt which will come next week some time.  Yay.

UPDATE:
Got some dirt and some plastic to line it with.

So I lined it with stuff.

 

Then I filled it with dirt and some seeds!  I planted onions in the middle, radishes on the left, and carrots on the right.  We will see what happens.  And I put my finger in front of the camera.  If stuff grows I will take pictures of the growth and keep updating this.
