How right it is to love flowers and the greenery of pines and ivy and Hawthorn hedges; they have been with us since the very beginning. - Vincent van Gogh
I love a beautiful garden. However, I do not like the act of weeding the garden! What's a girl to do?
Despite that it's only January, I can't help but to dream of Spring when the earth begins to unfurl from Winter's cold clutches and starts to come back to life. The sun's warmth feels so good on my skin. Colors seem more vibrant. Birds seem happy as they sing and flit about building new nests.
I have a few things that I love in my yard: roses, monkey grass, and elephant ears. The only way I will be able to have a flower garden is to create one in pots. If that will keep me from having to weed all summer, I'm perfectly okay with that.
There are so many ways to add beauty and color to your yard on a budget! Again, Pinterest is a fantastic resource for ideas, how-tos, and inspiration.
- Paint inexpensive plastic pots
- Make your own potting soil
- Make your own Miracle Grow
- Which plants attract hummingbirds or butterflies
- How-tos for growing flowers that tend to be difficult
- Make your own concrete pots
- Make a bird bath from clay pots
- The hardiest perennials for your area
Are you dreaming of Spring and gardens yet?
What plans do you have for your yard this Spring?
I can't wait to hear all about it!
