I was going to throw away this old chair frame, but then I changed my mind… I’ve used it as brassica cage for the kale and broccoli in my raised beds at home! #homegrown #kale #broccoli #brassica #reuse #upcycle #repurpose

I really need to buy a greenhouse! I’ve used up all the windowsills downstairs and now I’m using a bedroom upstairs… good job someone’s away at university! 🀫 #Tomato #chilli #aubergine
