OMG! It's the old people bench cart (my husband calls it that and says he's buying me on)! I so gotta get it! About how much was it so I can tell the hubby?!!?!? :D
I have a similar one.I refer to it as my old lady cart. As awful as it is to admit to age by using it ,it has helped my back, ankles and knees a lot.

I also have flowers on my indoor strawberry plant:

I haven't tried pollinating them--could be the stupid Asian beetles upstairs that did it. I DON'T know, but it's pretty neat. :D

Here are all my seeds for 2012 Planting. I lined them up on my kitchen table this weekend so I could see what I REALLY need to buy. Had to share bc it represents a LOT of work.

I clean out and save containers from:
--herbs and seasonings
--small mayonnaise jars
--pickle jars
--plastic parmesian containers
I rip off the tops of seed packages enough to read what it is, roll them and put them in the jars first, then use my funnel to get the package contents inside. THIS way I can reuse them and I don't have to clean off a stuck on label. Some of my jars are filled with saved seeds from last year, specically marigolds, sweet corn, ornamental corn, several kinds of green beans, including Scarlet runner, and a few flower seeds.

Nice work done there dude. You have utilized your mind and the house hold thing to make a perfect indoor system. The plants here are very good and tells the story of the hard work behind it.

One of my heroes, George Morris (current Jumping Coach, Former USET member and USET coach--that's riding/training/jumping HORSES, for those who don't know) is in his mid 70's and he still rides and trains. He said recently to never pick up or carry anything that you can load in a cart/car or transport in any way that doesn't abuse your back, and YOU can be riding/training well into YOUR 70's, too.
He is a WISE man, and I am one of his followers.
