Let's Plant

Like I may have said in the past, I don't have a green thumb, but that doesn't stop me from wanting to plant plants (man, that sound's weird) around the house.  Today Josh and I decided he needed planter boxes to plant tomatoes in.  So here we go with our scrap pallet wood.

First, I laid out the wood for all of the sides to make sure they would fit correctly.  This sounds really simple but if your pallets were anything like ours, the boards came in different widths and not all necessarily strait either. I decided not to worry about making the top of the planter even, opting for the rustic look.

Next, we laid out some of the short broken wood from out pallets to keep the wood together, and nailed them into place with our trusty nail gun.

     

The third step was standing up the sides and nailing them to the base.

Here is the final product, minus the dark stain we put on it.  We made another one because it was fairly simple so now Josh has two tomato plants growing outside his house.
