Landscaping, often overlooked in the grand scheme of property improvement, plays a pivotal role in shaping the initial impression of any residence. From lush greenery to well-maintained hardscapes, the landscaping choices you make can transform a mundane facade into an inviting and captivating sight.

My spouse and I have gained quite a bit of experience planting bushes, trees and flowers over the years. Our two biggest experiences were in planting thousands of pine seedlings from the state nursery on our 40 acre farm (in our younger years)and planting around 3000 spring flowering bulbs on our current 6 acres.

We spent Easter weekend sprucing up our front and back yard landscaping. We spent this past weekend, cleaning up my square foot garden. As you can see, it needed some attention: Some of the 'weeds' in the picuture is the mint that I naively planted 10 years ago when we built my garden box. Now, I'm ready to plant.

Last year, I chronicled my box garden conversion from random planting to the more calculated method, known as Square Foot Gardening. I had great success, but at the end of the season, I vowed that in 2011, I was going to replace all of the dirt in my box with new soil following the Square Foot Gardening recipe for a soil mix.

Use water collected from dehumidifier to water your garden and flower pots. It fills up quickly on sweltering days and I use that water for my flower pots. When waiting for the hot water to heat up from the faucet, trap water in a jug or bucket and use it to water your garden and flower containers.
