Plant Stands and Planters

While working on the entryway I put a quirky little fern I picked up from Lowe's into this great plant stand. I also updated the breakfast room with a new plant and planter. http://thededicatedhouse.blogspot.com/2013/0...

Gardening: I bought a somewhat leggy tomato plant and upon looking online to see

how to plant it, I found a video that said to put it into the ground sorta lying on its side but then pull it up into the upright position. Said the part underground would form roots and send up new plants (I think that what's she said). Shown here is a screen shot from the video showing how she's lying part of it down into a long hole in the ground. She also said to put some bone meal into the planting hole to produce more tomatoes instead of more green parts. Ideas on whether any of this is a good idea?

  • all you need is an old jar, some paint, soil & succulents!

Grow Succulents in Upcycled Jar

I took a pasta sauce jar, a peanut butter jar, and a salsa jar and primed them with Rustoleum spray, then painted them with Rustoleum aqua spray. I added the footprint because it was a ...»
mother's day project.

Just put some rocks at the bottle for drainage, then add cactus soil, then separate and arrange your suculents and fill in the empty spots with more soil. Water lightly. Super easy!

These were all gifts, but for the one I kept I didn't even paint it, I liked the look of the clear glass with the rocks and soil showing.
