Mom Thinks She Has A Green Thumb

During my period of neglect these past couple of weeks, my mom has scoured the internet looking fur things to waste her time on do, here are the beginnings of a pallet garden…

Her, dad and the youngest son almost killed each other laying pallets on top of one another…trying to achieve the perfect look.  I don’t see what the big deal is, just start putting them together in a line….geeze.   Any dog could tell them that!

Then dad started nailing burlap potato and coffee bags to the pallets.

Of course, I was there snoopervising the whole process!

Did I just get yelled at for making sure the burlap bags are tight??  Surly not!

Then they put another layer of pallets on…my guess, they are losing their minds!

But again, my job is to snoopervise, not judge!

Then mom started adding dirt to the pallets!  She said she will start adding some vegetables soon!  I guess that will mean more internet research….grrrr, so my neglect will continue I am guessing!  Oh well, as long as she grows me something yummy to eat!!

  2. I must say that I am interested in hearing about this. Looks like a great idea. Keep reporting on it, Higgins. Hopefully your mom's priorities won't get mixed up. You're still #1.

  11. Higgins, that pallet garden looks like it could seriously impact the amount of time your mom has to spend with you. You'd better monitor this situation very closely!
