About 5 or 6 years ago, I purchased a little fig tree at a flea market. I have blackberries, and grape vines, so a fig tree would be a great addition to our home garden. Somewhere I had gotten the impression fig trees were bushes. Nope, that little fig tree is now about 10 feet…
How to Grow Yarrow
I was teaching a soap making class at my friend Ivana’s herb farm, Lavender and Rust, when I was taken back by her mass plantings of Yarrow. I knew I had to buy some of the plants she had for purchase, and learn how to grow yarrow. Both the white and pink yarrow were planted…

The 127 Yard Sale, or the World’s Longest Yard Sale, as it is also called, is a Junker’s dream. If this is your first trip, or if you are a pro, this is one of the biggest events of the year for junkers and pickers. You need to be prepared. I’ve listed some things that…

How to Grow Bee Balm
Bee balm (Monarda Didyma) was in full bloom in my garden a few years ago at the side of an old shed we needed to tear down. I didn’t want to loose it, so I decided to move it to a split rail fence closer to the house. Bee balm is easy to transplant. Since…
Tricycle Planted with Pansies
Do you have a favorite flea market find that you always buy? Vintage vases, old galvanized buckets, or gardening tools? Well, tricycles are my weakness. I currently have 4 or more in my shed, so on a pretty day last week I pulled this tricycle out and planted it with pansies. Pansies are…
Vintage Style Spring Moss Purse
While trying to organize some of my craft supplies and junk finds, I came across three little moss purses I had purchased a few years ago. I also found a few doilies for another project, and a pair of vintage flower earrings. These would be cute for a vintage style spring moss purse. Spring is…
Dollar Store Farm Animal Pincushions
I didn’t go into the Dollar Store last week looking for pincushions. Honestly, I can’t remember what I went for, but as usual, I couldn’t resist going back to the garden department. I spotted these little ceramic farm animals with the artificial succulents in them. My initial thought was these would look cute with real…
TerraCotta Pot Crafts
Terracotta pots aren’t just for planting in! I use for decorating, to put gifts in (lip balm, garden soap, hand balm) scattering around the garden for decorating, and creating some great Terracotta crafts. Anytime I’m out junking, I look for Terracotta pots and I have amassed quite a few of them. While at a local…
Repurposed Garden Tote
We have had unseasonably warm weather for the last few days. In fact, it is 73 degrees today, about 20 degrees above normal. I won’t get fooled into sneaking a few spring seeds into the ground, but it is a perfect day to complete a few projects that have been on my to do list. …
