  • A great idea for growing peas in a compact space. The project looks fairly simple as well.
  • here is a photo from another blogger who made one from bike rims. peas already growing!

Bicycle Wheel Trellis

Spotted this trellis on a walk around the neighborhood. What a great recycling project and a sturdy trellis for peas. More on posts trellising peas here http://gardentherapy.ca/spotted-bicycle-whee...

Love my Garden Stamp!

I've always wanted a veggie garden away from my patio and contained. Planting seeds with the right spacing and depth always deterred me from it. I was introduced to The Garden Stamp at www.gardenstamp.com and absolutely love it. I have a full bed of lettuce growing in perfect rows and spacing. I'm so excited to watch it grow and can't wait for my first harvest so I can stamp my garden again and plant something new!

Garden Diva Chick

I've had this wire dress form for a long time and have been wanting to do something with it. Paid a visit to Wingard's Nursery because they had a potting area with very helpful staff. Had a good day being creative with her.

Yardsale Finds... Just Hide Them Until they Fit In

Husband says he is going to ban me from yard sales but he loves what I end up with! Eventually things look good! But....for awhile...sometimes too long of a while....they take up precious ...»
space!

So I only have to hide these from him till I discover their "full potential"! You see the potential don't you?
