Re: Fun Side Projects and Ideas
You know how it is, you look at one video on Hypertufa flower pots, the next thing you know, you have gone to the next video and it is on leaves to decorate your garden, then on and on..............
This was such fun. I am glad you posted this.
Thanks

Cool link
Thanks for this link, Camprn. I agree with furbalsmom. I started out enjoying watching a way to make planters and ended up viewing more of the videos to the point that I now wish I could make a garden sculpture for my garden.
Maybe I'll run across a design that doesn't require artistic talent.

Re: Fun Side Projects and Ideas
Thanks for the idea Happyfrog. I have titled it thus as I was thinking I may want to add other ideas or fun side projects in the future. When I see a link I really like and I know that I will want to revisit it, I will add it to my personal bookmarks on my computer.
HYPertufa

Thanks for posting camprn!!

Re: Fun Side Projects and Ideas
I'm going to have to give hypertufa a try! It's so strange to think that just three or four years ago I wouldn't have even considered such a thing. Gardening is a wonderful gateway to creativity
Re: Fun Side Projects and Ideas
Camp that is a GREAT link. LOVE IT! I was thinking about my meanie neighbors who's perfectly manicured lawns might need a weed or two, maybe I could pack some of those balls chock full of mint seeds! LOL....just kidding!!!!
OH OH OH!!!! Or Megan could send some mint the HOA president's way! ROFL

Re: Fun Side Projects and Ideas
Pretty neat. I've made my own seedling pots just out of paper bags. It worked pretty well, but I'd much rather plant in ground.
Re: Fun Side Projects and Ideas
Wow, this thread will deffinately be keeping me occupied this winter! Love those seed gift tags!

Re: Fun Side Projects and Ideas
My kids and I are making "Toad Abodes" for the garden. I bought 3 (one for us each) 6" terra cotta pots that we'll turn on their sides and bury 1/3 of it so the toads have some cool ground to lay on. I also bought us each an 8" (or so) terra cotta plant saucer that we'll bury to the rim and add some water to it and place it near the pot. Each of us is painting our own and then I'll seal the painted part with a spray.
As soon as we're finished, I'll post some photos. It's a great inexpensive project, and an fun way to encourage some good critters in the garden to stay around.
