How to Make a Birdbath

I wanted to make a simple birdbath so I had the idea of using PVC piping. Then I bought a white plastic tray at Joann Fabrics and glued that to the top of the PVC pipe. Wala! Birdbath!!

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?

Plumbing Material Succulent Garden

Sometimes when roaming through the hardware store aisles, I get strange looks. Because I end up buying a whole group of galvanized plumbing caps - as planters for a succulent garden.

Gardening: Best LOW-LIGHT indoor plants??

I need some suggestions regarding some larger low-light indoor plants. I seem to be able to find plenty of indoor plants that require a good bit of light, but not very many low-light. So far, I have only purchased a Chinese Evergreen. Which ones have you all had the best luck with/your favorites etc? Thanks ahead of time!

    when shopping for low light plants. Look for the dark green plants as they require less light than light green and variegated plants.

    Just a reminder, not all flowers are edible! Some flowers that smell lovely, are quite poisonous.

  • This is where we are now.
  • We started with these big, boxy hedges...
  • After tearing out the hedges, we built some planter boxes.
  • We consulted with our local nursery, who advised us to amend our soil with compost and minerals with trace elements.
  • We put seeds and starts into our amended soil.
