Trash Garden

Only a portion of my spring plants were in the ground and the Okie wind was howling relentlessly, tearing at those delicate little baby plants. So, at 6:30 a.m. on Wednesday, I was in the kitchen, sawing the bottoms off of every plastic container I could find.

Then I sailed across the yard with the blue flashlight in one hand, and the bottomless plastic collection flying behind me in the wind in a trash bag.

I anchored the trash bag in the shed, watered my leaning plant-lets, and quickly pushed a protective container around each.





The wind continued into early this morning (Friday) when a storm finally broke tension, but everybody in the garden looks very happy today.

Next time I do an early morning, before-work garden wind-protection operation, however, I'll remember to apply my hair straightener product first, thus completing two tasks at once.
