Use Your Old Coffee Grounds in the Garden.

Are you a big coffee drinker? If you are, you will have used coffee grounds. Don't throw them away...used them in the garden.

There are many ways to use them. Camellias, hydrangeas, and roses are all nitrogen loving plants so the coffee grounds help.

The grounds are also a great deterrent for slugs and snails around hostas and other plants that the pests love.

Sweeten Your Tomatoes With Baking Soda.

Want to grow the sweetest tomatoes around? Use baking soda near your plants in the garden.

Just sprinkle a small amount of baking soda on the soil around your tomato plants. (be careful not to get any on the plant itself and be also careful with young seedlings which are more tender.) The baking soda absorbs into the soil and lowers the acidity levels. This will give you tomatoes that are sweet rather than the tart flavor that store bought tomatoes have. ...»

    don't need anything extra added until they get established. Also, this remedy is for acidic soil. If your soil it alkaline, then it could hurt the plants. Just try it lightly once they get going!

    I am crazy because if we start getting to much rain like in the last few weeks, I have an umbrella attached to a rod and I put it over the plant, I like to see the flowers in the garden last a bit longer

  • I am just not into decoupage. I like colour and lots of it. Hmmm.... what to do?
  • I started by painting the teapot green. Then I added some purple stripes to jazz it up.
  • A small mason jar became the vase that fit inside just perfectly. Love the flower spout, don't you?

From Trash to Treasure, Remaking a Teapot

I love transforming thrift shop finds to something useful for the garden or home. I bought this teapot for 50 cents, how could I lose?

  • Erosion was a real problem. Not to mention the dirt the builders brought in. Very sticky clay plus a ton of rocks.
  • This is what we had to work with.
  • We dug out and built these tiers by hand one shovel at a time! We took the Garden of Eden Film approach and brought in compost plus year old mulch to serve as a natural "covering". So we rarely water our garden.

  • Yellowing leaves – like you can see at the bottom of this potted plant, can be a sign of too much water. Potted plants can show this symptom quickly.
  • This pepper plant has tons of deep green foliage, but no blooms or peppers – a classic case of too much fertilizer
  • The Swiss-cheese look of a plant – the classic sign of slugs

Gardenia or Camellia

Which is it ?? Live in zone 8 and it gets maybe 2 hours of sun in the morning, shade the rest of the day. I just fertilized it 2 days ago and put some straw around it.

  • Rock garden at Darts Hill, Surrey BC.I love this look using alpine plants and hoped to have our rock garden wall look similar.
  • Checking out other rock gardens gave us ideas on what we wanted in our new rock garden. Here scree is used in this garden.
  • The first layer of rock was dug down and placed at least halfway into the ground for stability. Once the first layer was complete, the next was layer was carefully placed on top in brick fashion. Carefully select your rocks as you go.
