Growin' Like Crazy

After a few years of trying to grow herbs in the soil, I moved them to planters on my deck. This makes them so much easier to care for and I enjoy having them right at my back door.

  • An organic, raised garden table, planted by the square foot method using companion herbs and flowers...and a little veggie bling.
  • 1. Companion Flowers -
Marigold, Petunia and Zinnia are the cheerleaders of veggie teams. 1
  • 2. Trellis -
Keep it light and simple. Pictured here are two inexpensive bean tents that were snipped at the hinges to make four trellis panels. 3
  • 3. String Ribbon - 
Use reflective ribbon pinned by shiny thumbtacks to stake out your square foot garden. Adds color and keeps the birds away.
  • 4. Beneficial Herbs - 
Plant basil, chamomile, thyme and other herbal veggie companions. Add color and fragrance to your garden while repelling pests.
  • 5. Beads - 
Better bling than pinwheels. String inexpensive Mardi Gras beads to add sparkle and pop. In dusk, they give the illusion of holiday lights. 1
  • 6. Whimsy - 
Every garden must have a gnome but consider adding toys like small animals and action figures.
  • We're adding dinosaurs this year.
  • Now that we have the Garden Stamp, we are setting aside the yardstick and extra ribbon to focus on planting square foot patterns of edible color. 1
  • Stamped out.
  • Update: It worked!
  • For 2013: Don't neglect those containers. See our post on this simple bamboo & ribbon pea trellis.

Create Your Own Customized Room Scent

Tired of harsh, artificial room sprays and scents? Why not create your own from all-natural ingredients? I created these room scents from lemon, rosemary and vanilla. ...»

To create my personalized scent, I started with two fresh lemons and then added 2 stalks of rosemary and a teaspoon of vanilla in 2 quarts of water in a pan on the stove. I brought the ingredients to a boil and then turned the heat down to let them simmer.

As the water evaporated, I added more water to keep the fruit and herbs covered at all time.

And as the mixture simmered, the house was full of the smell of spring.

And now...I'm growing my own herbs so I have a built-in supply for a fresh smelling house every day!
