Potting Bench, Mr. McGregor’s Garden Easter

Happy Easter Springtime

My New Backyard Potting Bench

(See the little pot above with the cute flowers? My daughter Veronica painted that when she was little. Also, see the little oil can? I found that in my grandfather’s garage after he died and I took it home with me. I’ve kept it ever since.)

Is That Peas?

(Actually they are called Sting of Pearls.)

All the pots that you see that are painted, me and my children did those many years ago.

Peter Rabbit and Mr. McGregor’s Garden was a story that my children loved when they were growing up. I read them the various books and we owned the video’s and watched them every year around Easter. We loved the story.

With this love that we all have for this story I designed our Easter potting bench around Peter Rabbit and Mr McGregor. After all the story is about a garden of food.

The child’s plate that you see above with our Cabbage Timbale and bread, once belonged to my little brother Ben. When my daughter Veronica was born my mother gave it to her one year for Easter. It has since been passed down to her little brother Brodie as well.

Our Cabbage Timbales

(We even used a new garden tool as the server.)

I’ll bet this is the prettiest potting bench. 🙂

I’m very proud of my new potting bench. When I see it I think of Mr. McGregor.

Beautiful Spring

It also helps in the potting of plants when I need to wash them up.

Julie’s Drunken Lemonade

Lemoncello Liquor, Lemon Water, Volcanic Lemon Juice, Lemon Soda Water

Fresh Lemon and Lime Slices

This cocktail is actually a ‘taste as you go’ kind of drink. I did use an entire bottle of Limoncello Liquor and some of the lemon soda water and lemon water, then I added about a half a cup of the volcanic lemon juice. Also add a bit of sugar because this drink can be TART!
