I think this is probably one of my best masterpieces in my gardens. I use waterfalls or ponds and turn them into plants and flower beds.
Use Spray Paint to Have a Choice in Planter Colors
By Ana
I love pastels! The one problem I have is I cannot find planters in pastel colors. I can find white ones that sometimes work. While out looking for inexpensive planters I found the size and price that I loved. One problem, the color only came in black! Here's how I transformed them to more of a shabby chic look, just by using spray paint.
Using Flower Trays As Seedling Planters
By Ana
At your garden center they often have discarded flower trays and pots that are free for the asking.These trays are great for seed starting for all season long plantings. They have sections that are perfect for keeping them separate, without extra cost.

One of three loquat trees in my yard. I live in Georgia.

Several years ago, we fenced our front yard and planted perennials and bulbs to poke through the pickets. We didn't cut beds at the time, so the grass grows intermixed with the plants. We have been removing each picket fence panel and cutting out the sod around the plants.
Propagating Basil From Cuttings
By 15mhhm15
Basil can get costly, so why not propagate basil. It is very easy to do so! Get some cuttings from a basil plant and place into water. In a couple of days, you'll start to see the roots forming! The photo attached is an example of the roots in 1.5 weeks and almost ready to be planted in soil!

Pea shoots make a tasty addition to salads, adding a totally new level of flavour, but can be expensive and rare to buy. However they are extremely easy to grow.

This project uses vintage Troll dolls. You remove their original hair and replace it with an air plant. You can add miniature items as accessories. You will need to mist them with water every week to keep the air plants alive.

The experts advise us to select a piece of half hard stem about six inches long. While this is good advice, it isn't written in stone. If you can't get that desirable six inch piece, take whatever you can get, even if it's a one and a half inch 'nubbin'. If it is healthy and given proper treatment, it will root.
