Hang onto plants for winter greenery. Save your plants over the winter and avoid spending more money in spring. Plants in the house not only provide decoration but are also healthy. Use free plants to landscape. After the leaves dye down, dig up the bulbs and re-plant in the fall. Check the time.

for cool enough weather for sanding Sonia and I bought a storage chest on Facebook Marketplace, and I’m gonna paint it white to match her other furniture.

Typically, you don’t have much wall space to paint in a bathroom after installing the mirrors, shower, tiles, and bathroom cabinets. Try painting it yourself instead of hiring a painter. Use framed photos to decorate bare walls instead of high priced paintings. Painting the walls is cheaper than using wallpaper.

None of the trees have produced much fruit in the 5 years since I planted them.

History In 2006 I planted fruit trees, in anticipation of retiring and having time to pick and use the harvest. I planted them that fall, a dwarf pie cherry, an Elberta peach, a Lodi apple and a Braeburn apple. After snipping, I carefully painted the cut edges with tree paint. Plant blueberries instead!

At first, I was little skeptical when I saw that nail polish was the paint. The rack is now used for painting projects. Once you are done dipping and your pots are completely dry, you can plant your flowers or herbs. For a more marbled effect, pour the polish so you can still see water at the surface, like the white paint above.

Try to keep your garden away from your home and other structures, as contaminants from paints and metals can enter the soil quite easily. For beginners, a 10-foot square garden will provide adequate room for a variety of vegetable plants. If you plan on having a wide variety of plants, just make your plot larger. Preparation.

My spouse has many plantings around our several acres. When he plants something new that needs a steady supply of surface water, due to shallow roots, he sometimes uses a 2 liter soda bottle. He cuts small holes in bottom, fills with water and places it next to the baby plant to drip irrigate it. Two liter soda bottles.
