Best Galvanized Raised Beds
Galvanised steel raised beds have shifted from rural-feed-trough territory to mainstream urban garden gear in the last few years. They last 20+ years (versus 10–15 for cedar), don’t rot, and the corrugated profile give
Even though the weather has teased us a little with a few inches of snow this weekend, I am more than ready to shake off winter and start doing a little spring decorating. Today I’m sharing one of the easiest wreaths I’ve ever put together. If you have five minutes (maybe 10 if you like to make your bows more perfect than mine), then this Spring Wreath may be just what you’re looking for!
I chose a rattan wreath form for this project because of the light color and branch weave. The only other things you need are: a package of mini pastel pom poms, glue gun, ribbon, scissors, and a piece of wire or pipe cleaner to hold the bow together and to attach it to the wreath.
I put mini poms in this cute pink depression glass bowl. Why? No reason other than they looked pretty and so spring-like sitting in this cute little bowl. Really, it’s because this project is so simple, I felt like I needed another picture. Okay then, back to the project . . .
I randomly hot glued the mini pom poms onto the wreath. Remember that less is more. I attached just enough to add some color.
Next came the bow. I am a bow making novice. To get a little help and instruction on the process, I watched a quick video on YouTube first. I used ribbon with wire edges and as you can see, the bow instruction was enough for me to tie an acceptable blow. I didn’t get any pictures of making the bow, because my hands were pretty tied up in the bow making process. If you need help on how to make a pretty bow, check out this Video.
I love how easy this wreath was to put together as well as the neutral colors with just a hint of spring peaking out in the colorful pom poms.
It looks great on my front door. Now, we are ready to welcome spring!
Thank you for sharing!

Indoor plant pots without drainage are a polite way to kill a plant. The decorative ceramic with no hole at the bottom traps water against the roots, and even the hardiest pothos eventually rots. The real trick is findin

Once you start propagating seriously — cuttings, divisions, perennial seedlings — you need nursery pots in volume. Tip-out pots, square pots, deep pots for legumes — each has a job. Buying these in bulk packs is dr

A trailing hanging basket cascading off the verandah is one of the simplest displays in the garden — and one of the most-disappointing if the basket itself is wrong. Wire baskets dry out by lunchtime in summer; coco-li

Potatoes in grow bags are the most reliable easy-win we’ve ever planted. No digging, no scab problems from heavy soil, and harvest is just lifting the bag. The right bag breathes (so roots don’t circle), drains, and last

Self-watering planters have a reservoir below the soil that wicks water up as the soil dries. Tomatoes, basil, salads — anything with consistent water needs — grow noticeably better in them. They’re also forgiving wh
