I Love the outdoors.Been Gardening and landscaping since I can remember.Love Do it Yourself Projects in the yard..


Recent Activity


  • Finished Mason jar solar light.
  • Supplies Needed: Solar lights, duct tape, Mason jars and outer lid, spray paint and painters tape. 3
  • Screw off the top of the solar light and put painters tape on the top of the solar panel.
  • Spray paint the solar light tops and lids.
  • I folded the duct tape in half to create double sided tape. I used duct to keep the light from falling into the jar. Duct tape is also weather proof.
  • I wrapped the duct tape around the light. Make sure you don't put the tape to close to the top. You don't want the tape to stick out of the lid. 4
  • I stuck the light with the duct tape inside the jar. You don't need to push the light in too far, just enough to make it snug. The lid will make it more secure.
  • It was an easy project that didn't cost very much money. I had all of the resources with the exception of the lights. 1

Mason Jar Solar Lights!

Don't you just love all of the things you can make and do with Mason jars? I have been wanting Mason jar solar lights since I saw them in a catalog three years ago, but for $40 a jar ...»
there was no way I would allow myself to buy them. I knew I needed to figure out a way to make them myself. I bought some solar lights at the dollar store and was able to come up with my own Mason jar solar lights. Please visit my blog to see all of the details.

Gardening: Who Is This Garden Visitor?

We found this visitor next to the strawberries in our garden this morning. Can any of our Hometalk garden experts identify what this is? In previous years beans, cucumbers, watermelon and pumpkin have been planted around this area. Could this be one of those?

Gardening: What's ailing my Coleus??

I'm getting this discoloration on the leaves of my red Coleus - only the red. The spots are only on the older leaves. There are no visible signs of ?? on the cuttings I've taken from these plants. I've sprayed the affected plants with a fungicide, with no results. Any ideas??? Forgot to mention, they are in my greenhouse.
