Well today I got to working on the second bench.
I assembled it and brought it over to the deck and trimmed up the straight bench and the curved bench so that they fit in the corner of the deck.
I then went and got the trim router with a 1/4” roundover (got to make it kid friendly) and a sander to get rid of the saw marks, saw cuts and roundover where the trim router won’t reach.
I did the edges on both surfaces of the benches and sanded both of them.
Here are ...

I’m also trying a new plant the called Moses in the cradle I have three of them planted in pots and I’m interested to see how well they do.

Well, I finally got started on the flower bed under the bedroom window. I dug out in front of the basement window and installed a paver surround and back filled with rocks. I just used plain Jane drainage rocks, I don’t like the fancy smancy stone.
Here you can see a wider shot. I tilled all the ground up and gave it a slight grading away from the house. Then I laid down cardboard for the mulch bed and mulched to either side of the window. I’d have mulched it all, but, that...

Seems like the mint jelly is by far the winner among all the jellies we’d done and has gained the most attention so I thought that I would write it up and post it online.
This recipe can no doubt be adapted to other infusions without much fuss.. First few things that come to mind are any of the mint family. This batch we used plain old mint and pineapple mint mixed together. You could use chocolate mint, spearmint, or even lemon balm; but I can’t fathom why you’d want to ...

Someone asked the question if I was going to treat the wood that I used on the posts.
That was something that I forgot, and i was planning to write about when I made the posts and enches.
When I was at the big orange home supply center I saw some new treated wood. It’s by Thompson’s, its called Thompsonized wood
he wood was not the normal green treated wood. It’s more of a natural color wood treatment.
This post is treated wood.
The price is about the same...

It’s hard not to talk about the history of projects when you live in an old house,... as I first started typing this, I had about a page and a half of back story before I was even able to caption the first photo… I’ll get to all the details and back-story eventually, but for now, here’s the (still long winded) Cliff Notes version of the aforementioned Secret Garden – in progress.
A neglected portion of the side yard (a tiny bit of property on our side of t...

So I was at Lowes the other day they had there ‘07 bulbs on sale for 75% off…how could I resist?! It was sleeting in the parking lot and yet I’m in the home and garden buying bulbs…maybe another reason Andy things I’m crazy :). Rummaging through all the bulbs I started to get an idea, they had tons of black tulips and tons of white tulips and various other flowers. So my newest smart idea is to have a black and white garden. I bought some asian jasmine (also 7...

Here comes another nice upgrade that will make your blogging on GardenTenders even more enjoyable. Each of you is now going to have blog that can be proudly presented across the Internet. Old blog pages were quite messy… they were just paging across whole blog entries. And if the blog entries were longer it was real pain to browse through them.New blogs feature nicely organized and visually much more appealing blog home page that prominently shows the latest entry. And just below the latest e...

One step closer, I made a little visual of the layout for my garden of the year.
I have yet to determine what plants I want to include but this will give me an idea of how many types of plants I will need to fill the space.
I hope so anyway. Input is greatly appreciated.
