I saw a 6 pack of lettuce at the plant nursery.  So pretty, frilly & green I thought it would be lovely in a planter.

One thing led to another and I was mentally running thru my craft supplies figuring how to add carrots with nice looking tops.

Felt of course! ( I adore felt, don't you? )

Deep green felt rolled up and glued at the base.  Clip while glue dries. 

Then cut thin strips most of the way down.  Stick a pin through the center & into the top of the carrot.

Plant the carrots with the lettuce!

Wasn't sure I was going to carry through with this idea - after all how many lettuce & carrot spring planters does the world need?

One I guess!

And when you are done looking at it, you can still make that salad!
