With Summer heat, and longer periods of sun, even vegetation that requires full sun can start to wilt. It’s very easy to over water your plants during this time, and unfortunately over watering and under watering usually have the same symptoms in plants. Wilting, or fading can also be a sign that your […]
One of my favorite activities in the world, is kayaking. Not because it’s great exercise, which it is, but because you reach a spot where there are no other kayaks around, the water is fairly smooth, no roads near by, and you can just lie back and drift. It’s probably one of the […]
I recently decided to transplant a couple of the ferns that grow around my vegetable garden. This picture is of the ferns in their original spot. I’ve planted one large in a pot on my porch, and one small one for my husband’s desk. So far both seem to be adjusting quite well […]
Looking for that gift for the hard to buy for person? How about a personalized potted plant? I found this nifty little pot in a clearance isle at Wal-Mart. Simply plant your house plant and write a personal message in chalk. When your done, just spray it with fixative or hair […]
I can honestly say that I have never seen tomato plants get this big. I went to my vegetable garden after I came back from vacation to find that it had grown to four feet tall! I had to tie it up to the fence since the stakes I had were only two […]

My Uncle Bryan sent me these amazing pictures in an email. This lady lives in a Hummingbird migration zone. When they flew through, she decided to try holding some sugar water in her hand and see what happened. I’ve never seen Hummingbirds get this close to people!

Any time you water a plant, especially one in a container, pouring directly onto the soil can expose roots and keep water from spreading evenly through the soil. If you’ve had this problem, then instead of pouring water directly on the soil, try pouring it onto broken terra cotta pieces. I use a […]
