I like to buy flowers that reseed, can be divided, and are easy to grow. When you have a big yard, with lots of space to be planted, it can become expensive. Plus, I like to create a garden space that will return the next year, and I can move on to another area. Rudbeckia…
Repurposed Pumpkins
I know…, it’s at least 90 degrees outside, and I am talking about pumpkins. But, I’m going to a craft show the end of September, so I need to start thinking fall. My repurposed pumpkin is made from the drawer of a little chest I kept in the closet to hold craft supplies. But, after moving…
Summer Home Tour: Decorating the Garden
I’ve been following the Summer Home Tour hosted by Michele at Shelstring blog and was happy when I was accepted to join the tour. There have been so many beautiful homes and great ideas for decorating your home. And believe me, I have saved them all to pinterest! Head on over to her blog to see what…
Rusty Bird Cage Garden Decor
I bought an old rusty bird cage years ago at the 450 mile yard sale. I think I paid $5.00 for it and brought it home. It’s been sitting in my yard, back in the woods where I often store my rusty finds. I found it the other day while I was cleaning around my…
Bread and Butter Zucchini
Zucchini is sneaky. You can go out one day and it’s 2 inches long. Two days later you can play baseball with it. After picking 7-8 from the garden this morning I thought I would try my hand at making bread and butter zucchini. I washed the zucchini and cut it up into small cubes….
Tomato and Cucumber Salad
The days are hot and the tomatoes and cucumbers are plentiful. Tomato and Cucumber Salad is a great way to use these vegetables when they are at their peak. Tomato, cucumber, and onion salad, goes with just about anything. Tonight at dinner we had left-over meatloaf, coleslaw, and fried corn, from last night when my…
A CSA Garden
My friend Michele, and I decided last year to partner in a CSA garden. We would use non-GMO and heirloom seeds, as well as organic practices. We both have small gardens (50×50) and felt we should limit the CSA garden partners to 8, since this was our first year. Eight doesn’t sound like a lot, but we…
Raising Ducks
I have had chickens for a long time, but had never considered raising ducks. This spring my granddaughters wanted a couple of fuzzy little yellow ducks, and I came home one day to find them and their dad with two little yellow Peking ducks. They had fixed them a nice home complete with a light for…
Fashionable Flowers
I attended our local Lawn and Garden Show Sunday. It is sponsored by the Hamilton County Master Gardeners, and they always have, not only great vendors, but some very interesting displays. There are some very talented gardeners there, and this year’s theme appeared to be fashion and flowers. The color purple was also used in…
Country Living Fair Nashville Tennessee Ticket Giveaway
I have wanted to go to the Country Living Fair for a long time, but every time it was scheduled, I either had to work or there was some reason I couldn’t go. It has been in both Nashville and Atlanta, and both are within a 3 hour drive for me. I saw an opportunity…
