stuff i got yesterday and how i'm using stuff today

things I got yesterday; one pair vintage croc cowboy boots(great find),one 1962 home ec text book, 2 necklaces to tear apart,one small mirror with crusty backing, one 1970's "Careers" game(complete), two boxes poker chips and one pair of white babies shoes from the 60's.
today I built tomato planters using scrap wire, black plastic bags and some of the leaves I dug out of the recycling bins in Albuquerque. They are pretty deep and the leaves will break down over time and form leaf mold, that's a great compost. It will add much needed acid to my alkaline desert soil. The black plastic bags will condense water at night when there's a great tewmperature change and help to water the tomatoes. I'll transplant the tomatos in a week or two as we're still frost prone.
