Other folks are DIYers who are revamping their outdoor living areas, building outdoor furniture, or planning an outdoor living room for the first time.

  • I wanted to share my little sister's Backyard Waterfall & Pond!
  • She and her hubby did all the work themselves! They did a great job of incorporating the waterfall into the landscape-it looks like it's been there forever.
  • I love it! I have a much smaller waterfall and pond on the to-do list for summer & hers gave me lots of inspiration- I thought you'd like it too! xo

DIY Backyard Waterfall & Pond!

In case you're planning a DIY water feature, I thought I'd show you my sister's Waterfall & Pond that she and her hubby put in...maybe you'll get an idea or two, I know I did!

    I am working on a dry stream bed (water only when we have a storm). I keep thinking about ...»
    adding a pump and liner to retain the water, but am concerned about the work it would require to keep it nice, and the cost to run the pump. Do you know what size pump they used? I've looked and don't think HD or Lowes has one big enough for that volume of water.

How to attract hummingbirds

I had such a wonderful response to an earlier question that I decided to ask another. What plants/bushes native to Florida's gulf coast will attract hummingbirds? Simply hanging feeders hasn't proven successful.

  • The plantings are simple, creeping jenny, ponytail grasses, bacopa, and sweet potato vines.
