The other night I got tired of tripping over it and made the statement -“I’m doing something with this TONIGHT or I’m throwing it away.”</p> <p><img class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-625" src="http://www.letsgojunking.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/unfinished-basket-pic-1-1024x694.jpg" alt="unfinished basket pic 1" width="642" height="435" srcset="http://www.letsgojunking.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/unfinished-basket-pic-1-1024x694.jpg 1024w, http://www.letsgojunking.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/unfinished-basket-pic-1-300x203.jpg 300w, http://www.letsgojunking.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/unfinished-basket-pic-1-210x142.jpg 210w" sizes="(max-width: 642px) 100vw, 642px" /></p> <p>I’ve been doing a lot of container gardening lately. Thank you <a href="http://www.carmenjohnstongardens.com/" target="_blank">Carmen Johnson</a> for sparking my interest again. Plants can be planted in just about anything. I’ve been wanting to create a backdoor herb garden and this picnic basket would be perfect!</p> <p>To protect the basket I sealed the entire inside with Thompson’s WaterSeal Clear.</p> <p><img class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-624" src="http://www.letsgojunking.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/thompsons-water-seal-pic-1024x768.jpg" alt="thompsons water seal pic" width="642" height="481" srcset="http://www.letsgojunking.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/thompsons-water-seal-pic-1024x768.jpg 1024w, http://www.letsgojunking.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/thompsons-water-seal-pic-300x225.jpg 300w, http://www.letsgojunking.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/thompsons-water-seal-pic-210x157.jpg 210w" sizes="(max-width: 642px) 100vw, 642px" /></p> <p>I wanted to add a little color to the exterior of the basket so I stained it with Minwax Premoistened Wood Finishing Cloths (Maple). These cloths let you wipe on stain and finish in one easy step.</p> <p><img class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-620" src="http://www.letsgojunking.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/minwax-cloths-pic-802x1024.jpg" alt="minwax cloths pic" width="642" height="819" srcset="http://www.letsgojunking.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/minwax-cloths-pic-802x1024.jpg 802w, http://www.letsgojunking.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/minwax-cloths-pic-235x300.jpg 235w, http://www.letsgojunking.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/minwax-cloths-pic-164x210.jpg 164w" sizes="(max-width: 642px) 100vw, 642px" /></p> <p>Because of the weave of the wood, it took 4 cloths to stain the basket. USE gloves when you use this product. Cool thing is that the basket was dry in an hour.</p> <p><img class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-622" src="http://www.letsgojunking.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/stained-basket-pic-1-1024x782.jpg" alt="stained basket pic 1" width="642" height="490" srcset="http://www.letsgojunking.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/stained-basket-pic-1-1024x782.jpg 1024w, http://www.letsgojunking.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/stained-basket-pic-1-300x229.jpg 300w, http://www.letsgojunking.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/stained-basket-pic-1-210x160.jpg 210w" sizes="(max-width: 642px) 100vw, 642px" /></p> <p><img class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-623" src="http://www.letsgojunking.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/stained-basket-pic-2-1024x862.jpg" alt="stained basket pic 2" width="642" height="540" srcset="http://www.letsgojunking.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/stained-basket-pic-2-1024x862.jpg 1024w, http://www.letsgojunking.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/stained-basket-pic-2-300x252.jpg 300w, http://www.letsgojunking.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/stained-basket-pic-2-210x176.jpg 210w" sizes="(max-width: 642px) 100vw, 642px" /></p> <p>Although I treated the inside of the basket with Thompson’s WaterSeal, for further protection I put a thick plastic garbage bag as a liner in my basket. I also put a few slits in the plastic on the bottom of the basket so a bit of water could drain and hopefully prevent root rot for my herbs.</p> <p><img class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-619" src="http://www.letsgojunking.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/basket-with-plastic-pic-wm-1-1024x891.jpg" alt="basket with plastic pic wm 1" width="642" height="558" srcset="http://www.letsgojunking.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/basket-with-plastic-pic-wm-1-1024x891.jpg 1024w, http://www.letsgojunking.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/basket-with-plastic-pic-wm-1-300x261.jpg 300w, http://www.letsgojunking.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/basket-with-plastic-pic-wm-1-210x182.jpg 210w" sizes="(max-width: 642px) 100vw, 642px" /></p> <p>The soil went in next.</p> <p><img class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-618" src="http://www.letsgojunking.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/basket-with-dirt-pic-wm-1024x682.jpg" alt="basket with dirt pic wm" width="642" height="427" srcset="http://www.letsgojunking.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/basket-with-dirt-pic-wm-1024x682.jpg 1024w, http://www.letsgojunking.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/basket-with-dirt-pic-wm-300x200.jpg 300w, http://www.letsgojunking.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/basket-with-dirt-pic-wm-210x140.jpg 210w" sizes="(max-width: 642px) 100vw, 642px" /></p> <p>Once the basket was filled with soil, I trimmed the plastic liner a bit more so that it was even with the top of the basket. I then planted rosemary, purple basil and parsley.</p> <p><img class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-621" src="http://www.letsgojunking.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/planted-basket-pic-wm-985x1024.jpg" alt="planted basket pic wm" width="642" height="667" srcset="http://www.letsgojunking.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/planted-basket-pic-wm-985x1024.jpg 985w, http://www.letsgojunking.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/planted-basket-pic-wm-288x300.jpg 288w, http://www.letsgojunking.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/planted-basket-pic-wm-202x210.jpg 202w" sizes="(max-width: 642px) 100vw, 642px" /></p> <p>This beautiful little basket now sits right at my back door.
