HOw To CHRISTMAS GIFTS PART TWO, ROLLING GARDEN SEAT

Here is another fun, thoughtful and definitely useful gift from 2nd Man.

 A couple of seasons back, I was clearing some old cactus (!) from around one of the trees in the front yard and I hurt my back while walking around and around in a circle all bent over chopping and digging.  With me about to start working on the raised beds and then having to go up and each row once they are growing, 2nd Man remembered that and thought I might could use something like this:

It's a rolling garden cart/seat.  Here is the link from Amazon if you are interested in reading more about it: Rolling Garden Seat with Turnbar.

It has a turnbar on the front so as you roll, you move the handle and it steers the front wheels.  The seat is a tractor style seat (so it's comfortable) and it swivels to make it easier to move around while using it.  Now, as the Amazon reviews say, I will have to admit the assembly instructions were lacking to say the least but I was able to figure it out.  It was worth it to me to get it put together so I can use it soon.  Speaking of, below is a picture of what it looks like when it's in use.  It's got a cool little tray underneath to hold tools (and seed packets!) and then a basket on the back end to hold more.

It was definitely a surprise and I can't wait to use it this season.  Once it's in use, I'll do an update review of sorts.  Did you get anything you didn't know you needed but now can't wait to use it?

HOw To VINTAGE POSTER SUNDAY SAVE SCRAPS FEED HENS

Image
Save Kitchen Waste for Hens, vintage image courtesy of the UK Imperial Museum Sorry for delay in posting.  I thought I had this on automatic and then went to the farm and realized it didn't post when I got back. This one is another fun one.  I have posted a couple of similar posters with this same theme, but both of them related to saving scraps for pigs.  This one asks people to save scraps for hens (but mentions pigs in the caption).  It dates to WWII, the 1940's of course, and comes to us from the UK. The hens look excited don't they?  LOL. Residents could get a pail or bucket from the Council and just put food scraps and related waste in there and it would be picked up weekly.  Of course, it was for food waste only, as it says on the poster, keeping it dry and free of glass, metal, bones and paper. As you may have seen from yesterday's post, it's been record breaking heat here, so most of my activities have been limited to indoors...
