Fairy Garden

This is my first attempt at a fairy garden. I think it still needs something. I'll have to give it some time to come to me. Can't wait to make more from ideas on other clips.

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!

    I may not be familiar with all of the plant names, but I can tell you which plants to look for ...»
    when shopping for low light plants. Look for the dark green plants as they require less light than light green and variegated plants.

  • 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.
  • And now we're hoping it all grows!

  • An old ironing board that I recently painted white makes a great out door vignette on the patio.
  • I plan to drill a small hole in the ironing board top to slip the hanger wire through so it won't blow off.
  • I used a laundry basket shaped container for the Rose Star Calibrachoa.

Birdbath Sedum Fared Well Thru the Winter! ;-)

Last year, I turned a birdbath into a flower planter and filled it with 3 types of sedum. I wasn't sure how it would fare, thru summer or winter. But, during the summer it flourished, and ...»
it fared well over the winter as well. I let the leaves and pinestraw that fell, stay and be a mulch/cover for it during the cold months. And this spring, its quite beautiful, even though one particular type has overtaken the others for now lol. (although the one that grows like a vine I had to trim back b/c it looked quite rough after the winter, even tho it was still living)...there are even pieces that fell to the ground and are growning! :)

An Unexpected Surprise

After we take our holiday tree down, we set it outside for all the critters that come to visit our yard. When we went to take it down a few days ago, we found a mama bird sitting on her nest. I got my first shot of her today---can't wait until there are some peeping babies!

Project We Did to Cover the Tree Roots in Our Yard.

Old tires we cleaned and painted, old tricycle painted, an old pot painted. It was hard mowing the grass with so many tree roots right there. A little work and it's beautiful.

    straight as the kids knock them about! HA! We too have a root problem. I have large pine islands that we put in to use as a place to rake leaves into! We got tired of raking and then hauling them off. Now all we do is blow them into the pine islands.
