Sunday~Funday for me today. Although it has been a cool spring, I know that the warmer weather is coming. I am trying to prepare as best that I can. I have been looking for a vertical stacking planter. Something that doesn't take up alot of space and that has a low profile. I believe that I found just what I like today while searching online. It is across town at Lee Valley. We will go later on today. I would like it as I think that once the warm weather arrives, things like this will sell out quickly. I will use it for the tomatoes and vegetables that we like to grow. Otherwise, I plan on a nice and quiet day today. Not alot of anything else after buying that tiered outdoor planter. What are you up to today?

Later today I want to go back out in the yard and see if the lawn mower does any better for me than it did for Pretty. At least the air quality is much better today than it was the last two days here. I hope you enjoy the new planter.

@DaddyEvil Oh wow, that is incredibly hot. We will not see those temperatures until June. You do have strong winds.

That sounds ambitious. Everyone is talking about getting outside today, it is THAT time of the year finally isn't it? We have to drive across town to Lee Valley soon, brunch was delicious and I have the kitchen all cleaned up again.

@Juliaacv We'll be at 29C by late this afternoon. The only bad thing today is that the wind is really blowing strong here. It's blowing at 72 kph right now.

The planter sounds beneficial and will keep things neat. Just yard work primarily. I also need to work in the room I want the desk to go in.

You have a busy day planned with both indoor as well as outdoor work. My next job is making our Sunday brunch here, then we can go together to pick up the planter.

@snowy22315 Yes, it was delicious today. I had bacon and sausages, he likes both, but I only have a couple of slices of bacon. I made his eggs sunny side up and I made 2 tiny crepes with fresh strawberries, and I made home fries and toast for him.

Getting a planter sounds good. I also bought some flowers today for my vase.

I have a really big planter for my flowers. I usually plant them after the threat of frost is gone, so about the third week of May.

@kareng Usually mid-May or the third week. Before that and it will feel like the warm season is too long.

Yes, they were always used for trailing plants such as strawberries, but now they are becoming very popular for almost anything. I will look for soil to go on soil to fill it and then when the plants are on the shelves, I will buy some and even start them inside and move them outside once the threat of frost is gone. That won't happen until some time in May though.

They look pretty good, but I haven't seen it in person just yet. We have to go over there in a while to buy it. Once the plants are on the shelves, I may be able to get them started inside and then roll it outside once the threat of frost is gone. I have to check the drainage first.

That is great, it is a good way to pass time. I have the potatoes and brussel sprouts cooking on the stove now. We will eat in another half hour or so. Enjoy the rest of your day today.

I have a little stacker like that but it has five tiers. I haven't planted it yet.

Yes, I remember you posting a picture of it and I admired it so much. I like the shorter one for the area that I will use it in. I have a fear that the wind may take it over if it is too high for the spot I want to place it.

@JudyEv The twins have given me the foresight to see a mess before it happens. If one of those fell over, it would certainly be a mess.

@Juliaacv The wind could easily be a problem with mine too. It's easy to be wise in hindsight.

Rain since yesterday, expected to continue into early next week. I plan to do some planting in pots as soon as it is convenient.

That sounds good, there should be good growth in the ground after the rain. I am going to check the drainage on the bottom level of this planter, I may be able to get my plants started inside. They are not out on the market just yet, but it won't be long, then when the threat of frost is over I will roll it outside.

It was such a peaceful and relaxing day. I am glad that I picked this planter up, now I will just have to fill it with soil and then plant the plants. It has turned so nice here as of late, and I hope that this continues, although we are due for some rain, hopefully it falls at night.
