This year is the first year for me to use the raised garden bed my husband made me last fall. I love it. I definitely prefer it over my regular fenced in garden. I find it is much easier to maintain as you don't have to bend down as far. I have found that I can fit a lot of things in this garden bed/box using what I call the shoulder planting method (basically planting all the plants closer together). I like this method as weeds just aren't that prevalent. There isn't much room for the... Read Full Story

They really are a glove with lady like appeal!I personally chose the signature style bec... Read Full Story

Spring is here and so are the Dandelions! They are popping up everywhere in our lawn! I must admit that I greet them with a smile. They remind me of my childhood days. The days of running through the yard with my cousins, collecting as many of them as we could! To us they were not weeds; They were beautiful flowers! However, my husband does not greet the fresh crop of Dandelions with the same cheer I do. He's the one who does the lawn maintenance and he chose to be gracious and allow our dau... Read Full Story
