A Unique Container Garden

Container gardening is so versatile.  Not only do I use them to start my Spring Garden but to maintain my foliage all year long as well.  Peppers and tomatos can survive in a container garden indoors during the winter with the proper lighting.  Just make sure you have a large enough container that has enough of a depth to allow for growth.  I use a laundry basket that is forty gallons and 24 inches tall.  I found it at a thrift store for just a few dollars.  Don't limit yourself to any possibility.

My old toddler swimming pool was perfect for growing simple

Ready To Go Camping?

Are you looking for something different to do for Spring Break?  Do you need a peaceful get away that won't cost more than your budget will allow?  If you've never tried camping I would recommend you give it a shot.

Before and After, Growing Your Own Garlic

Garlic clove with sprout

Garlic plants about four wks old

I've discussed how easy it is to grow your own garlic.  Here I want to show you an example so you can see how it works.  On the left of the screen is a garlic clove.  The clove has been in a glass jar for about two weeks.  You can see the sprout shooting out from the top. Four weeks ago I placed two similar cloves in a pot covering the clove to the base of the sprout.  Now I have two healthy plants that will produce fresh garlic as shown on the right.
