About Me:

I'm just me. I'm a wife who loves her husband completely. A mother of 3 and grandmother of 4 and also have 3 step grand children. My God, my family and my home are my top priorities in life. I love making my home ours.

Favorite area of home improvement:

I love working my home to make it a part of us. Working in my yard and garden are a joy to me, a lot of people think of it as extra work. Not me, for me it is my time, time to think...

  • Ants lying in Windex.

ANTS? Easy, Safe Solution!

An exterminator told my friend that when you begin to see ants, they are the scouts. Stop these and you won't have ants. My son discovered that if you spray them with Windex (or any other glass cleaner), they are exterminated. Keep after it for a while and you won't have ants. We have used this for years. 2 days ago our humming bird feeder leaked onto the concrete front porch...the liquid got down in the crack between brick and concrete so there was not way to flush it out. Ants ...»
appeared quickly, I sprayed them with Windex. Watched through the day and kept spraying them. Now ant free! Safe for kids, pets and environment! It is worth a try before you spend hundreds.

  • I like to grow a wide variety of carrots in all different colours. You'll need flour, water, a paint brush or pencil, ruler, seeds, and fine tip marker.
  • Add a tiny bit of water to flour to make a sticky paste.
  • Dab the brush in the flour glue and pick up a seed.
  • Set the seeds on the tape at the recommended distance apart. Write the seed names on the tissue with a fine tip marker. Allow everything to dry.
  • Plant the seed tapes at the recommended seed planting depth. The toilet paper will gradually dissolve. This method has provided me with a huge bounty of carrots. 2

How To Make Seed Tapes For Planting Tiny Seeds

only has the germination rate been excellent, but the carrots grow at set distances apart so there's no need for thinning the seedlings.

There's several options-I like using toilet paper, flour, and water. I've provided more information below and on my blog.
