HEY YO! I am super excited about the Spring and the plans for our yard. I don’t remember if I ever wrote about our pallet veggie boxes, but we’ve had them for a while now and wanted to put a nicer facade/hold the dirt in without using garbage bags! Below is how they have looked…

I live in Florida mosquito capital of the world, but I am determined to enjoy the rest of Spring and Summer outdoors, without fear of these blood-sucking inhabitants! Since we have been sprucing up our backyard a bit, it only makes sense to add plants that will help us enjoy the place in which we…
Planter Boxes! ______________________________________________ Source: re-nest.com via Rhianna on Pinterest Yes, I am adding another project to the never ending DIY list! I want to make two planter boxes to flank our metal shed in the backyard. I had this revelation after watching a marathon of Curb Appeal the Block on HGTV.com ;) What other…
One of my favorite parts of gardening is when the little plant shoots form! I was nervous about planting bulbs simply because I had never done it before. I have wanted to grow flowers for some time now and I saw these Gladioli bulbs at Home Depot and thought I would give it a try. …
. After the sudden and sad death of our soy beans, I am happy to report that not all was lost ;) We are seeing green and red and orange! Our first orange bell pepper is ripe for the picking, along with a couple of cayenne peppers and the lettuce looks ready as well. One…
It feels good to finish portions of your “to-do” list and I finally finished this mini side yard. I had acquired a little extra spending money and I put it to good use so that I could feel a little better about an eyesore in our yard. Here is the before from like 2 years…
There are seeds being planted in all of our lives….continuously. The seeds that I am taking about today are ideas, I have been mulling over the idea of having more indoor plants, especially in the kitchen, for a while now. But this photo sent me right over the edge: . Source: everythingfab.com via Loi on…
. After my husband did an amazing backyard overhaul (well, 2 specific areas in the backyard…..still happy about it), we decided to go to the Home Depot yesterday to get some yaaaard stuuuff. We ended up getting a Meyer Lemon Tree (insert squeal), two pepper plants, a lavender plant, citronella plants, some onion bulbs and…
Remember this Before…. . . . Well, see for yourself…
. I have found the theme for our tiny master bathroom: Botanical! Marshall said I could do “whatever I wanted” in our bathroom and even though at first I had dreams of an “ultra femme” bathroom…..I knew that was a completely selfish fantasy on my part. So, what’s the next best thing you ask? Well…
The hope that I had for my plants…the hope that started out as a wee flame has been whirling about and growing as the first signs of life begin to emerge!! From my boomerang shaped Plumeria plant, to my Fiddle Leaf Fig clippings, I am enjoying the little glimpses of future glory :) Take a…
. Oh the progress that has been ruined by the Winters of Yore (2010/2011)!! My once budding Bougainvillea which had attained so much in his short life (why is everything a “He” today), has been demolished by the terrible, 3-freeze Florida winter. We nurtured our little buddy from a short, but lovely plant, training it…
I sure hope so! It would probably help to do a little more research, but I’m hoping my new endeavors will be fruitful. I feel like my last few posts have been really into nature…I hope you don’t mind :) I went to the Home and Garden Show at the Convention Center (in Orlando, FL)…
. Hmmm…that title could be ambiguous, but I’ve discovered some plants growing in our yard that I figured I would share. Two out of the four interesting developments are decipherable, but the other two plants I have no clue. My first plant happened about a month ago and is a result of last years’ lettuce…
I have been seeing and loving these plants all over the place. Yes, the fiddle leaf fig or Ficus Lyrata adds a bold texture, almost kind of a graphical element to the indoor space. I have done a bit of reading up about this beautiful indoor plant and found that it is relatively easy to…
