Fresh DIY: Gardens that Aren’t  Five amazing DIY ideas for Growing Veggies without a yard… This vertical garden created from a canvas shoe organizer is brilliant for two reasons: One, it’s a freaking shoe organizer that’s been turned into a garden; and two, it gets everthing off the ground to deter rascals like squirrels and bunnies from nipping at your veg.

This hanging gutter garden recalls ReadyMade’s amazing living wall, but on a scale for those of us without lots of space.

Fresh DIY: Make quick work of your morning accessorizing

I love this unfussy and practical idea. Bring the outside in—no matter what the temperature—by relying on a rustic garden tool to make quick work of your morning accessorizing.
“I happened to have this nice old rake head (its handle long gone), which I thought was really a cool design element for such a utilitarian object. Stylistically, it works well in my rural New Mexico home—we’ve got lots of old rusty pots that we’ve pulled out of an ancient junk pile. This rake was used by our garden-loving family for well over 20 years before being repurposed.” —Jamie Crockett
