Recycle project & organic greens!

My mom gave me a great idea on what to do with empty cans..use them as small flower pots! What a great, inexpensive recycle project! Make sure you poke holes in bottom to allow water to drain out. I recommend adding some rocks to the bottom of the cans, also to help with water drainage.

This is my boyfriend and I's first attempt at growing something tasty to eat..organic of course! We purchased organic soil and seeds from our local farmers market. We are very fortunate to have a thriving year-round farmers market available to us..and just a short bus ride away! I chose to start with spinach because we consume it daily in our daily green smoothies and I love throwing a couple handfuls into pasta, scrambled eggs or baked with chicken. Yum!

We are growing the spinach indoors because the weather is so cold right now. I love watching the little plants grow every day! I can't wait until we can harvest the leaves and start the process all over again!
