pumpkin planter

Allie of Little Mouse's House had posted a way cute tutorial in which she made a planter out of a pumpkin. As we scrolled past the display of pumpkins at the grocery store this past Sunday, the tutorial popped into my mind and I knew I wanted to do this activity with Ethan, too! We selected a little pie pumpkin and got to work!

Ethan and my husband picked the seed packet out during an afternoon trip to Home Depot. I followed the directions on the back of the packet and am hoping something sprouts soon!

    1. I have a black thumb, too! I'm trying so hard to practice because I'm determined to plant a garden in our backyard when it cools down a little more. Eek. It didn't go so well last time, haha!

    Unfortunately, though, in addition to the newer buildings that are generally little affected by coastal erosion, there are a small number of older houses in the Barton Court area, that are now situated quite close to the cliff. Wright (1998) has stated "Buildings in the Barton Court area will probably be lost in the next 10 20 years; a number of them are already within 20m of the cliff edge, some as close as 3m" . An area at risk from erosion has been identified in the District Local Plan and is defined by the line to which the cliff could recede in the next 60 years. (Michael Kors Black Bag With Tan Straps)
