Let’s make some thieves cleaner so I can clean the kitchen shelves before I decorate them for spring. Thieves is the best smelling cleaner and it works for everything. It just takes one tiny capful of thieves concentrate mixed with water in a 16-ounce spray bottle to make the best smelling all-natural, all-purpose cleaner. If you do the math, one 14.4 ounce bottle of thieves concentrate at $25 will make 29 16-ounce bottles of cleaner. It doesn’t get much more economical as that. Have I mentioned how good it smells? It’s the only cleaner I use these days. Now that the shelves are clean, let’s finally decorate them for spring. This is my first attempt at growing an orchid. The nursery pot it was in fit perfectly into this cute owl planter which fit perfectly on my kitchen shelves. Since there is no such thing as too many plants,...

POLLINATOR BEE HOTEL | AIR BEE ‘N BEE
05/21/2024
Did you know that if it weren’t for bees transferring pollen from male blooms to female blooms, gardens wouldn’t produce many crops at all? Bees don’t just sting or produce honey. In fact, wild bees are not aggressive at all and many don’t even have stingers. They are an important staple in the success of flower and vegetable gardens everywhere. I wanted to do my part to encourage as many pollinators as possible to visit my gardens this summer so we installed an actual hotel for the bees, an Air Bee ‘n Bee if you will, to protect them from the weather and give them a safe space to rest and lay their eggs. There are many different styles of bee hotels. I chose this simple honeycomb model which we installed on the fence soon to be surrounded by wildflowers and sunflowers. I hope it will be the perfect...

I wanted to make an outdoor table centerpiece this summer. I had an old terracotta bowl I hadn’t used in years that was the perfect size for what I had in mind. Knowing small planters dry out quickly in the summer heat, I opted for a succulent bowl since succulents tolerate dry conditions better than most annual flowering plants. They can be overwintered and brought back out the next year, as well. I picked up a few varieties of succulent plants at the nursery. Once securely planted in the bowl, I sat the bowl in a clear plastic drip tray to keep the table clean while helping keep the plants watered at the same time. Then I sat the bowl and drip tray inside a grapevine wreath. Finally, I wrapped the rest of the bowl with a grapevine garland for a fun rustic look.
