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.

    pencil in the dirt and if it comes out with a bunch of dirt on it then I do't water. If the dirt is dry and needs water then the pencil does not have dirt on it or any wet spots. The other trick is to add a layer of small pebbles on the bottom so any left over water will not soak the plants.

Tulip Combination: 'Purple Dream' & 'Queen of the Night'

Here is a peek at the wonderful tulip displays at Longwood Gardens this month!

The lily-flowered Tulipa 'Purple Dream' just glows in the May sunlight. And late blooming Tulipa 'Queen of the Night', a classic, tempers the dreamer a bit and adds some great contrast.
