Lady Bug Habitat...keeps pest away naturally and their pretty too!

"Fun" rain barrels...

I painted this rain barrel last year for an auction to benefit childrens' education in Boerne, Tx.  It was quite a challenge however I think it came out pretty cool.  It's called "Garden By Moonlight" and it brought in $500.

"Serenity"

I just completed a painting for an auction.  Her name is "Serenity"...

Container Plants

Today I attended a seminar called "Container Plants".  

Happy Plants

You're probably sayin' "nothing to it, just put the plant in a container and watch it grow".  Well there's a few things I learned today that I'd like to share with you...

• Start planning and planting now!  It's January and seeds, transplants, etc. need a head start so they will have time to establish themselves.
• If you have indoor containers, keep them close to a window so they can get adequate light.
• Only water if needed...stick your finger in the dirt and if it's dry from the tip of your finger to your knuckle it's thirsty!
