I gave the whole thing 2 very imperfect coats.
I was so looking forward to that.. Luckily, this pretty new friend of mine decided to make an early appearance.. One day it looked like this.. And the next day….I don’t even know.
Lucky for me the normal (herbaceous?)peonies are about to go too, so I should have plenty of flowers for a few weeks at least.. Here’s our big new garden before the weekend.. And after!OK, it’s not that dramatic, but there are plants in there.
You’ll have to trust me on this.. We planted pretty much everything we could get our hands on and we still have more room!.That’s a plant.. There’s another plant!.
This is a picture of a plant that we hope might actually grow.. Chris built this little retaining wall in one area where we had to dig down to keep it all level.
I kind of like it!.Here are some great things to do if you find snowy, freezing weather heading your way.. 1) Cover your windows!
Using car mats, carpet remnants, or sheets of plastic to cover your car windows will prevent them from getting any frost, snow, or ice on them in the first place.For the side windows, open the doors and let the plastic drape over the windows before closing the doors again.
This takes a bit of planning the night before, but you’ll sure be happy when you wake up in the morning!.2) Another use for vinegar!
