It exists, in one form or another, in almost every urban area of big cities. You can see them painted on walls, buildings and buses. Some people like it and consider it a form of art. Others see it ugly, annoying and a nuisance....

Personally, I like to relax for the morning bit of the day after sleeping in an hour or two longer, then I like to eat some brunch. After that, I watch some TV while the food settles. I eventually work out, clean up around the...

Saturday, after buying the garden soil to go in this raised bed, I bought a few tomato plants. The price of ready grown plants has really increased. I have almost no luck with seeds. My frugal step was that I made sure each one of...

ThisSongIsFree I just bought tomato plants the other day myself, but instead of planting them in the ground, I bought one of those Topsy Turvy planter things you see advertised on TV (although I bought mine for ten bucks at Walgreens). Supposedly, they grow better suspended...

Dr. Ann Yes, when you cut off the side shoots to prune your tomato plants, don't throw the suckers away, but rather stick them in a glass of water on a warm and sunny window sill. They will root in about 4 days and then you can put them in soil (or hydroponic...

Heather Echola Is the corn in pots or outdoors? If it is outdoors the ground may still be too cold, or critters may have stolen the seeds. Peas should be great just straight in the ground as they prefer cooler weather and in my neck of the woods they die around mid June if...

Heather Echola Probably the bed I have done will qualify more as square foot gardening or intensive gardening. It is at a height that I can sit on a bench to work it, if I choose. It is up against my neighbor's new fence, but I built a cinder block wall and filled it with...

JoyfulOne Oooooo...a raised bed! I would LOVE to have that kind of spot, that is so convenient. I do something different in my gardens to conserve watering. Every year in the spring, I save my 2 liter plastic pop bottles. When it's time to plant my tomatoes, etc, I...

ElusiveButterfly Whenever I purchase potted plants I look for the pots that have more than one plant in them. Why buy one when you can get two for the price of one? Buy good quality seeds. For the price you pay you are almost guaranteed to get results. Think of the money you'd...

JABeau59 I love peonies! I alway think it is probably best to buy them locally so if you get a bad one, you can take it back. I buy mine at Lowe's. They guarantee their plants for a full year. I had to take back a couple of holly plants and they were very gracious and...

creativedreamweaver I think it's great that you still love lollipops. I too like them sometimes. Sweet treats from when were younger help remind us of great times in our childhood. They can also be a type of comfort food when we are down. Hubby loves gummy bears and gummy worms....
