Making super easy seed-tapes at home.
Comments (5)Thanks. I use the dining table because it's the easiest to clean up. I tried doing this project once on cardboard, but the glue just makes a mess everywhere. I know us wives HATE our kitchen tables to be used for messy projects, but a moist paper towel in between seed-strips cleans perfectly, leaving no trace of the glue or pen behind! :)...See MoreSpots where grass won't grow
Comments (3)Its like those patch perfect scammercials where they plant the grass seed on the concrete blocks. Grass can live only so long on top of rocks, constr debris etc If you dig down with a shovel you may find a buried treasure chest. Even if you don't find that, you might find the rock or coke bottle that was in the way this whole time....See MoreCommercial seeds swap seeds coming home!
Comments (24)Morning all, I'm glad to see that people are posting about their seeds making it home. I did a quick check on dc#s this morning and most have been received just note posted yet. Alana, come on! You are one of the best here on the garden web. I'm happy that I could come up with some things to send you! As far as the extras sent, I have waaayyyy to many seeds and needed to reduce my stash. I think everyone got back at least 8 or 9 extra packets. I'm not sure if you remember but I garden for $$ in the nice weather. I had been keeping all my seeds and the bosses seeds seperate.A while back I asked him what he wanted to do with the extras and he said "keep em"! I explained to him that I had a lot of seeds that I only used 10 or 20 out of a package but he has no use for them.I did winter sow 15 cups for his moms house as a Thank you then I divided them up in preparation of this swap. Unfortunetly, I didn't make it through my annuals. I think because first my neck strain, hubby breaking his foot and my dog being sick. There's always next year. I did bring the dog back for a recheck yesterday in the morning....He was in for surgery by noon. I was told the cost would be between $1500 and $1800, that's not including the $220 from the day before! This is so not what I wanted to hear! I'm grateful that I have been with the same vet for 25 years and they will take monthly payments from me for the surgery!!!! I have to look into medical insurance for this one...lol Hopefully the others will post about their seeds so I can wrap this one up. Have a great day Lisa...See MoreGrass won't grow -- Tree feeder roots?
Comments (7)Had a similar situation once and got tired of beating my head again the wall... Finally decided to mulch a much larger area beneath the tree and dressed it with a whole variety of hostas ( aside from deer, I've yet to see a spot that will get the better of a hosta...!). Threw down some decorative pathway slabs... About 12" square each with the mulch between each "step". A couple of those cast/concrete semi-circular benches for morning coffee... A decorative, brightly colored wheel barrel (another fun kid-project) placed on its side (as if tipped) with seasonal stuff "spilling". That was my wife's gig... Pumpkins and stuff in the fall... Potted flowers in the spring/summer... Christmasy stuff in the winter. Well, you get the idea... Even the kids got to pick out a garden gnome to tuck in somewhere (only one each and it was fun(ny)... Like you, couldn't do a darned thing with the area and finally figured, if you can't beat it... Treat it like an oasis of sorts...See Moretaz6122
