I started this garden in a place where there'd been a woodpile for more than 15 yrs. Last year we checked the ph and it was close to where tomatoes would do well. So, that's what I got....loam soil with a ph around a tomato level.Cindyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00224437485326110451noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5981559276902872127.post-47716174751241381362009-06-02T16:39:22.791-05:002009-06-02T16:39:22.791-05:00Fabulous finds!

And what a great transformation of the metal table; just perfect for your trays.<br /><br />I've been to several estate sales where I've left feeling bad for the folks having them. But then I think about how all of their treasures are going to people who will cherish them. It's recycling at its best.Susan from The T-Cozyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02179641603105734182noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5981559276902872127.post-27724820421580499432009-06-02T07:14:01.770-05:002009-06-02T07:14:01.770-05:00Hi, Just thought I'd drop by and say hello.

It was my grandmother's and it reminds me of her; I use it over my makeup table. I had someone tell me that if you could find one of those, they were worth a ton of money. So be glad you are giving it a pretty new home.Carol in Indian Springs Villagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06680358348896918280noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5981559276902872127.post-61499830909627355422009-06-01T14:28:58.376-05:002009-06-01T14:28:58.376-05:00Hi, Carol!
