The garden is coming along nicely and I can’t wait to pick the first tomatoes of summer. Last year the squirrel beat me to the first ripe tomato but I’ve got some netting up this year on the plant with them and am hopeful that will work. I’m so hopeful that as I was taking a walk, I noticed this cane “basket” that someone was tossing. It was right there on top of the garbage can and I couldn’t resist. I think it used to be either a purse or a sewing kit/cosmetic case, but the lid had fallen off. I guess that’s why someone decided to toss it. I saw possibilities for it as a basket to harvest my summer vegetables and herbs. A little paint to give it some color and soft rope for the handles and I’m hoping it will hold my first tomatoes! What do you think?
