  • I like to grow a wide variety of carrots in all different colours. You'll need flour, water, a paint brush or pencil, ruler, seeds, and fine tip marker.
  • Add a tiny bit of water to flour to make a sticky paste.
  • Dab the brush in the flour glue and pick up a seed.
  • Set the seeds on the tape at the recommended distance apart. Write the seed names on the tissue with a fine tip marker. Allow everything to dry.
  • Plant the seed tapes at the recommended seed planting depth. The toilet paper will gradually dissolve. This method has provided me with a huge bounty of carrots. 2

How To Make Seed Tapes For Planting Tiny Seeds

Some tiny seeds can have poor germination rates because the wind, rain, or birds carry them away. To counter this, I started making seed tapes for certain crops like carrots. Now, not ...»

Re-purposed bed to garden/porch bench.

Turning an Old Grill into a Planter

After getting a new Weber grill, we decided not to discard the old one. We painted it and turned it into a flower planter. We were thrilled when this project was featured in the June issue of Ladies Home Journal! Click here to see more about it.

Shade garden fence

This is a fence that we made out of very old windows and stair balusters, both left over from jobs my hubby did. The windows are so old that they have hand-rolled glass! There are two ...»
sections with my tea pot fountain set between the two fence sections. I love them because they are open and don't obstruct my view and they keep the dog from tearing through my shade garden!

My garden cupola

A friend brought over some old windows knowing that I would do something fun with them. The outcome? This fun large garden cupola over my septic tank! The roof is plastic ceiling tiles.
