I found this to be an easy way to dress up the deck.

I used these plantings as I found they are drought tolerant and other plants that I previously used needed frequent watering.

5 Ways to End the Tupperware Chaos

See if this Tupperware situation sounds familiar: Lots of round lids. Too many square containers. No properly stored food. Total chaos.

Using Tupperware (and its other-brand brothers) is an easy way to keep leftovers organized, but only if key plastic pieces quit disappearing! Instead of blaming the kitchen elves, create a Tupperware organization system. That way, you'll always have the right lid-container combination within arm's reach.Here are a few easy ...»

ways to control the mess:1. Get consistent. Nothing is worse than having ten circular lids when all you need is a square one! You may have to spend a little money up front to consolidate your Tupperware, but it's easier to keep track of everything if they're the same shape. Tip: While you're at it, invest in Tupperware that's mostly the same size. Mixing and matching will be way easier!

What's Your Garden Sign?

Every time I visit a garden, I look for a sign-a garden sign. Whether they're cute, funny, informative, philosophical, or simply welcoming, it's always interesting to see what's there. ...»
Sometimes the sign itself is a work of art, with others it's the words that matter (see the composting sign below).

What's your garden sign? Can you know a gardener by their signs?
