Indoor Winter Gardening With Miracle-Gro AeroGarden 3SL

December 4, 2014 in Gardening, Get It - No Comments

DIY Dinosaur Planters

April 25, 2014 in Best Of, DIY, Gardening, Kids - 25 Comments

Spring is here (although the temps say otherwise) and for us that means lots of playing in dirt and fun with plants! To jump start our spring gardening we... didn't plant a garden. Nope.

30 Green Days / Start a Container Garden (Re)using Rubber Bins & Various Pots

April 9, 2014 in Gardening - No Comments

Living in a rental has its ups and downs. The positive? Not having to foot the bill for repairs - at least I hope not. The negative? Being limited to the kind of modifications you can make to the property and land. I like to call myself a "rental rebel" because I have found so… Read More »

Succulents. They are irresistibly pretty and all the rage right now. I, having such a green thumb, decided it was time to start my own succulent collection.

I love new things, which usually leads to spending money unnecessarily and filling our home with more stuff. While I still love to shop, I've been able to satisfy my itch by repurposing.

June 3, 2012 in Chicago, Food & Recipes, Gardening - 6 Comments

Yesterday, we took a trip to the Strawberry Field for U-Pick. I honestly was expecting it to go smoother than it did, but then again what actually goes smoothly with little's in tow?

Nautical Inspired Hanging Basket Planters

May 29, 2012 in Gardening - 3 Comments

I've been wanting to grow some veggies in hanging baskets. I have quite a few coco baskets, but they dry out so fast, my crops will end up withering away in the heat we've been having. I decided to head to Walmart to pick up a few plastic hanging baskets. I'm looking to add more… Read More »
