I am aware of these but never thought of acquiring them until I saw your photos. Very nice!

Originally posted by Martin View PostI have been trying to get back into eating healthy food rather than whatever I can get delivered. Cooking with fresh ingredients while cooking for one has led to throwing out a lot of fresh produce as I just can't use it fast enough. i tried buying a live live Basil plant and planting it in a pot in my kitchen. It died quicker than a bag of basil would have lasted in my fridge. So I decided to buy a self watering raised bed garden. Assembled it last week and planted two varieties of local strawberries, Dill , Parsley and two Basil plants. It also comes with a greenhouse cover which will stay in place while I still have freezing nights. The cover also protected the plants from the heavy rains and hail we had the day after I set it up. Filled it with water and did not even look at it again until today. Everything looks like it did great with the exception of the Basil, which did not fair well but is still alive. The local nursery had tomato plants in so I added a cherry tomato plant today. The lady at the nursery was sure to warn me that it needed frost protection. When I explained what I had she said it should work perfect for this plant. I have room for one more plant and it will be either Bell Pepper or Anaheim Peppers. When the frost threat passes the vinyl topper will be replaced by an insect cover. That should protect the plant from pests and rain. Looking forward to just snipping off herbs as needed.

I just picked up a book that I’ve been looking for for a long time. I’m super excited to get it in hand. It should arrive this week and I’ll post pics when it does.

Very disappointing for my first direct order from Folio. I have another Folio book and it’s fine, but you sure hope for better when you order direct. I will say their customer service to remedy the situation was top-notch. Hopefully the replacement will be okay.
If anyone is interested in the original one, I have it listed on eBay (with defects disclosed both in text and pics). If you're from here and you buy it, let me know and I'll throw in a free tpb copy for reading, so you can keep the deluxe Folio HC pristine and free of unsightly fingerprints.

This was my my first direct purchase from them as well. I will probably be a repeat customer however I would like the prices to be a little lower.
