Even the seemingly mundane backyard actions, like beginning seeds, Dot is ready to flip into alternatives for extra curiosity. A naked are within the backyard is the right spot for a desk coated in a variety of pots. A gingham tablecloth provides further color and style, whereas blocks beneath the desk legs forestall the wooden from rotting shortly in moist soil.
