Garden Updates and John's Magnificent, Organized Garage

Well, it's OUR garage, but he did an incredible job organizing the thing. See:

We, in keeping the economy alive, bought a carload of containers at The Container Store for the task. John also created labels on our Brother PTouch.

A couple of weeks ago, we also went to the storage shed and picked up all the plant-pot boxes. There were quite a few items in those boxes that are now on my local Freecycle.org page (old yarn plant hangers, old hanging baskets, etc.). All those pots will soon be filled with the little seedlings quickly growing in my office.

This is a great area for someone like John who winds up doing all kinds of projects requiring specific tools.

Remember the other custom pull-out cabinet John made for the kitchen? This one is very specific to the workshop in the garage. We bought magnetized jars and I labeled them while we sorted out their contents. Mind you, the sorting process took quite some time.

That's enough of the garage. Suffice to say, it looks great and helps make everything a lot easier to find and manage.

OK, now for the riot of color that is my garden. Because you probably know all these, I won't clutter them with words.
