Woodwork

I was in the first year at my secondary school where girls were allowed to do woodwork. I wasn't great at it. But then I wasn't great at cooking then either and now I can do a 3-course meal for 24 with just a bit of stress.

So having turned pallets into a raised bed, I thought I'd have a go at turning floorboards into planters. Attempt no. 1 is shown:

It'll look better once the plants (zinnia at the back, geraniums in the middle, sweet william at the front) have grown a bit.

I need 2 more like this (or one longer one) to fill the gap:


It's a bit rough around the edges but it sits straight and square and will "do". For the next one I'm going to play with making the corners a bit neater.
