Recently I have developed interest in gardening with a focus "to grow what I eat" when I came across my OTGian friends through facebook. This happened when I became a mother and wanted to introduce to my baby home grown veggies which is deprived of any chemical fertilizers and pesticides. So I Started off with growing spinach, Capsicum and tomatoes as suggested by my OTGian friends. Presently I am happy to take care of my young plants of Bush beans, Brinjal, Cow peas, Methi, Mint, Curry leaves, Spring onions, Chilly, bitter gourd and cucumber everyday squeezing out a little time in the morning. I swear it gives you divine pleasure to spend some time with the plants who are equally happy to get nurtured with your love and care.
I had used Limca and Thums up cans for the project. They are quite thin almost like a paper and easy to cut into desired shapes :)
With increasing heat here in Odisha in this summer, I am sure i'll get many more such cans to convert them into tags!
Plants in my balcony garden are happy to get a new identity of their own! ;)
With an increased interest in gardening, I have also learnt to reducing and recycling our daily waste which need to be practised in every sensible household in recent days. I am now in the process of harvesting my first batch of compost out of our daily kitchen waste :). As far as crafting is concerned, I was always inclined towards upcycling and making new useful things from simple raw materials available in house. Today I want to share my last weekend activity creating some useful plant markers out of soda cans.
