The Holy Bucket

This is a really dark and pretty terrible picture of me standing in front of the first hole we dug. It later became the garlic bed. The reason I put this awful unclear picture up is I wanted to show you the holy bucket - the big yellow one at the front right.

Last year me and Hugh planted cherry tomatoes, leeks, broccoli and onions in pots in our yard. It was a small yard with high walls on all sides so not much sun except for the very height of the afternoon, so it was only averagely successful. I wanted to grow carrots too, but none of the pots we had were big enough. I went looking for a huge bucket but to no avail.

Then one morning I woke up and looked out into the yard and lo and behold there was a huge yellow bucket sitting out there looking back at me! Hugh didn't get it and I didn't get it, ergo God gave it to us so it is our holy bucket. We use it these days to carry weeds to the "weed hole" (I'll explain that another day) so it's still proving itself useful.
