    Companion Gardening

    I'd like to hear what more experienced gardeners have to say on this as well. This is especially important when you have very limited garden space and need things to be planted close together.

    Help with seedlings

    Not sure where you are, but I have mine on our front porch. I bought a "mini greenhouse". It's a black plastic divided container with a clear lid. The one I have you can put 72 separate seeds in.

Our BOBs have camping stoves (the little ones that works using...

    Re-purposed ......

    DH found an old bookshelf someone had thrown out. It was a little wobbly, but turned out all we had to do was tight it up and it is fine. We painted it white and now it's in our living room. I found an old door someone had thrown out and picked it up because the door to our shed had broken. It...
