Speaking of fellow Islanders providing awesome garden materials on the cheap, we recently responded to a post on the Gabriola FB group selling the contents of a 3′ x 8′ planter for $30 – we made off with about 20 raspberry plants as well as 8 strawberry plants and one mid-sized oregano! We are going to have so many raspberries come summer…

As you can see, J has been making a lot of progress on our pallet planters and mini-stairs. More pictures to come when it’s closer to being finished! We have also planted some of our seedlings in the pallets, pictured above are the violas.
