MAGICAL GARDEN FAIRY LIGHTS
06/04/2024
My garden beds are right off the back patio. They are pretty to look at during the day but I wanted to make them magical at night. What is more magical than fairy lights? I added solar lights to the garden arches. It’s like eagerly awaiting fireworks every night waiting for them to turn on. I like them so much, I ordered more to put in the wildflower/sunflower/pumpkin patch. It’s like a magical tunnel in the middle of a field. Once things begin to grow taller, the lights will either scare away the deer or show them what there is for them to eat while we sleep. Either way, I think they are magical which is what summer is to me.

Did you know you can easily propagate some veggies & herbs to double your harvest? Cut off the ends of green onions, place them in water until the roots grow longer and they begin to sprout, then plant in your garden for new green onions. The same can be done for basil by taking a cutting from an existing plant. Mint works, too. Even tomato cuttings can be propagated in water. By simply taking cuttings and placing them in water until roots form, you can double crops at no extra cost. And by propagating early in the season, you are succession planting which extends the produce season.

RED, WHITE, BLUE HOUSE & BARN | 2024

Happy Memorial Day a day late. The unofficial start of summer is here. I spent part of the holiday weekend adding red, white and blue outside around the house and barn. Let me show you around. The front patio is pretty much the same as last year with the addition of the buntings. Flags always adorn the ferns. That’s a given. Lots of green with a little red, white and blue. I should have spray painted the front door urn this spring but never did. I think we’re going with the rustic look this year. The porch in all it’s patriotic glory. Went back with last year’s faux geraniums again. They look pretty darn real to me and add a little color to all the green. Memorial Day, Flag Day & Independence Day. I’m all set! I moved most of my house plants to the front porch again this...
