Up-cycled Tipsy Pot Tower
For this week's blog post I need to give a shout out to Susie Vanco from Gallipolis, OH. She shared a photo of her pool on Facebook, but I spotted something awesome in the background. A few emails later, and I present to you the Up-cycled Tipsy Pot Planter!
Caring for Ball & Burlap Christmas Trees
Buying a potted evergreen to serve both as a Christmas tree and a yard tree is possible, though a bit of a challenge. Most trees do best if they are planted soon after purchase and during the cool months of autumn. But that doesn't stop gardeners from making this plan work just fine.
Preparing Your Garden's Soil
March is the month that gardeners become eager to start planting. You can dig up and work your soil as soon as it is dry enough. With sandy soils you can start whenever you like, but test clay or silty soil to see if it is dry enough.
Planning Your Garden
"Plan you work and work your plan." Keeping this bit of wisdom in mind can save you time, stress, and money when it comes time to plant your garden. Some go overboard hen it comes to planning and sketch out everything down to the square inch. Others do no planning and let their gardens take shape more ... organically.
