How To Make Garden Treasure Jars

I started making these treasure jars when my kids were little and they wanted to make some garden art of their own. Because the jars remain functional, you can hide little notes and toys ...»
inside. Use them like little time capsules or part of a treasure hunt. And, of course, the covered jars look like pretty jewels in the garden.

1. Cover any used jar (keep the lid) with flat-bottom marbles (also sold as 'florist stones' or 'glass gems'). I use GE Silicone II sealant (clear, waterproof) as an adhesive.

2. Mount the lid on a post or dowel.

3. Attach the jar.

Notes and tiny treasures can be added at any time.

Full instructions, material list, and sources are listed on my blog here: http://www.empressofdirt.net/gardentreasurej...

Cleaning & Organization: Has anyone had any success at getting the sour smell out of front load washers?

I have an LG front load washer that smells, and makes my laundry smell also. I always leave the door and soap tray open. (which I don't like and shouldn't have to do). I have tried ...»
bleach and vinegar--not together. Didn't make any difference. I am ready to junk it, but it was expensive.

Gardening: gardening: tomato and pepper question

Hi there,

This is my first time attempting to grow tomatoes and peppers. I have a couple of issues ...»

I'm having that I could use some advice on. These are planted in full sun near my front door. It has great drainage and compost underneath the mulch.

I recently found some brown/yellow spots on the sides of my peppers. I believe it is sunspot, but wanted your opinions and advice. I was hoping for red peppers (i don't like green peppers)...is there a way to ripen them off the vine?

My tomato plant is producing nicely, but the plant is now showing signs of wilting and browning. I water almost every evening.

Help?
