Who knew it could be this hard? You guys know the expression that “Time is of the essence”. Well I’m starting to think [...]
Don’t Throw it, Grow It! 68 Windowsill Plants from Kitchen Scraps
I have to admit that when my husband and I first bought our home a few years back the last thing on my mind was gardening. I was mainly concerned with un-doing all the peach colored paint with gold flecks on the living room walls and what seemed like endless amounts of border and stencil [...]
