cat in a salad bowl

On the way to pick up DH at the train station, I stopped by the thrift store and found a set of worn salad bowls. In the largest bowl I'm planning to plant some sort of lettuce mix! The book I'm using said she had found a large salad bowl second-hand and used it in this manner, and the idea greatly pleased me. This set didn't originally have a price on it, so the guy said he'd sell it for $6 when it would normally be priced at $8 or $10. I measured the bowl and found that it's a little short of having the minimum soil depth for lettuces and leafy greens, but I decided to buy it anyway and give it a shot. I can always harvest early if the plants look like they are getting too big for the container. After the guy left, the lady who was ringing me up said she'd give it to me for $5. Sold!

Naturally, after I removed the tape and three smaller bowls, Selina had to plop herself in the largest bowl.
