Gardening in the winter is somewhat challenging but doable. Many of the greens, some of the root vegetables, and herbs can be planted in the fall and will grow through the winter months. The saying is that greens are better after a frost.

Ok, I hesitate to post this project because it was SO easy. Like so, so, so, so easy. I feel like I’m sharing a dirty little secret or something. But it’s super cute, sturdy, and I get a TON of compliments on it! So I would say this is definitely a project you can and should tackle. Like today. Make your own outdoor coffee table using wooden pallets and tile. Earn a little DIY street cred. HA!
So, first thing you have to do is find two pallets that are the same size and in decent shape. Many places give these away for free so definitely look around and hit those places up first! I’m all about a free or cheap project! Then stack them on top of each other- I put the bottoms together in the middle so that the tops (the sides with more board coverage) were the more exposed sides. Then I attached them together with a few screws all the way around. I had some spare wood in my garage that I used to help fill in the gaps on the top of the pallet to make laying the tile a bit easier. I attached each board with a couple of screws. You can always buy a few pieces to fill this in if you need to. Just make sure the thickness is similar to the pallet boards.
Next I painted this base with some spray paint. I chose a dark walnut type color but you could really do anything here! I think a nice grey, black, or fun pop of color would look great!
Then I flipped it over and attached 4 caster wheels on the bottom to give this a little height and make it easier to move around. I chose 4” wheels because they seemed a bit more substantial, but you can choose whatever size gives you the height you are looking for.
I purchased this tile from Home Depot and I love it! They have a lot of tile options these days so you can pick your favorite

What is it about trickling water that we all find so soothing and relaxing? I love it, therefore I wanted that sound in my garden. I needed to make a fountain, I already had the pump and hose from an older purchased fountain that sprang a leak. I just had to find containers that I would pump the water into and then spill over to fall back into the base. A quick look at flower pots in the gardening center hatched the plan, they were resin but looked like old barrels.
