Pot Vegetables and Fruits
When some of my pot plants died due to neglect/water restrictions in our place, I decided to utilise the empty pots as storage for the citrus, apples, tomatoes, garlic, ginger and onions.
Citrus fruits and apples are 'must haves' in my dining room, kitchen and in our diets. The basic ingredients in my cooking are onions and garlic while the tomatoes are handy for instant vegetable for our meals. Lately, I’ve been adding ginger to my steamed broccoli and cauliflowers so gingers became a 'must have' too.
Since I am the chief chef at home, I prefer my ingredients to be at arms length and readily accessible. Having a busy family life, storing fruits and vegetables inside the pantry became quite impractical in my household as they never get cooked or eaten and just left to rot. They have to be seen to be used.
Eversince they became accessible in pots and displayed on the stairs, the housemates-hubby and 17 year old high school son- had started eating them too. They can just readily pick an apple or a mandarin on their way up or down those stairs - those steps by the way lead up to our lounge and down to our kitchen.
Ahh pots- they are just fantastic storage containers...

Wow! I love the concept of those fruits just an arm's length away and very accessible. With fruits in the fridge, sometimes, these are forgotten. Thanks for sharing your potted photo and wonderful idea.
Take care!
wow, what a great idea! how about writing for the home and garden section on your household decor ideas :-D
I love your pots. Especially the blue and white one. Is it chinese or danish? I collect blue and white ceramic stuff but they can get pricey here in Manila.
I agree with Raqgold. Why not write for the home and garden section. Also, since you are the chief chef at home, why not write for the Food and Cooking Section as well :)
beautiful!you were able to make a must have look designer :) galing!
i loved the way the pots are arranged in the stairs. it seemed a symbol of bountiful harvest.
I've attended a wedding here in Pinas that uses pots and fruits and vegetables as centerpieces for the table arrangements at the reception. ang ganda ng kinalabasan. :)
what an original idea. i love the concept.
Nice twist on empty jugs & pots. I think it's too early here or my Friday feeling's getting the better of me, but I didn't realise they were on the stairs hehe
What an innovative way of storing perishables! :-)
Oh what a fun idea to store the fruits and vegetables! Thanks for the tip! At first I thought they were plastic on the photos.
That's a great and cool idea. It's amazing how you thought of making fruits and vegetables play an aesthetic role in your home and at the same a part of your cooking.
hi Vicky!
Very nice and creative ways to reinvent the pot! :)
Btw, you're from Baguio? I don't know where I got the idea, maybe I read from your blog before. But are you a manang, i.e. are we from the same high school? UB sc hi? I'm batch '91! :D
