I like this humour on Tefal pan's packaging, "...it is recommended to keep the birds out of the kitchen." Why did they pick birds? Who knows...

Garden Update - Veg planters in action

We planted radishes, broccoli (romanesco), and some beets. At this stage radishes are nearly all eaten. Broccoli did not develop the flowers yet. There are some problems with beets. The leaves seem to turn grey and wilt. Today I sowed new batch of radishes. Fingers crossed :)

Garden Update - Veg Planters

This year we decided to plant some vegetable. We used wood from pallets. Few pallets were more than enough to make those planters. We laid the planters with used compost bags and other plastic foil packaging. We used the reciprocating saw with blade for wood with nails to take the pallets apart.
