Along the same lines as the fabric liner in your boxes... in my hanging coco baskets I first place a fairly large sponge... it helps to prevent the baskets from being to heavy and more importantly it prevents the water from running right through them. I noticed last summer that my flowers survived "my drought" conditions much better....I am a forgetful waterer. :-)Megrosshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07490041077852774983noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7871855805349050304.post-50808865528722574982012-05-21T18:07:41.119-04:002012-05-21T18:07:41.119-04:00I totally agree, Karla.

A few years back I made a decision to "just cut it" and have no regrets. I finally started to utilize some of the great fabrics I have once I made that decision. Love your motto, Karla.Bunnyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03672695141031447916noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7871855805349050304.post-33185595674819671362012-05-21T11:18:37.878-04:002012-05-21T11:18:37.878-04:00What a Beautiful Garden View!

But I can totally relate, because if I had some wool that wasn't my color.... I would do it, too (if I could have such a great idea). This is one of my personal mottos: "Do what you can with what you now have (as much as possible)". Resourcefulness! ;)KarlaBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17571554968017931589noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7871855805349050304.post-67782268812020213322012-05-21T11:13:43.700-04:002012-05-21T11:13:43.700-04:00What a beautiful yard---your attention to detail s...What a beautiful yard---your attention to detail shows in your gardening as well as your needlework :-)Maryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03517527498809073174noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7871855805349050304.post-42151585583183678012012-05-21T06:46:28.401-04:002012-05-21T06:46:28.401-04:00Your garden is gorgeous!

Clothes for the granddaughters, bags for friends, decorating for your daughter, gardening, and the list goes on! <br /><br />I desperately need a plan for my sewing! I seem to just go from project to project with no clear goal in mind as far as what I really need! I'm overladed with dresses and nothing to wear that suits my jeans and t-shirt lifestyle! One of these days I'm going to try SWAP!Cissiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08464868677429256017noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7871855805349050304.post-48118376090823396412012-05-20T23:46:07.626-04:002012-05-20T23:46:07.626-04:00What a lovely garden!

The hummingbirds scare off the jays, the mockingbirds chase after the crows and the crows chase the hawks away. What a show! Regarding your window boxes: if that's what you want to do w/ the green felt, then that's the best use for it.<br /><br />We actually got into the low 80's today, but it will cool down for the holiday next weekend. We always have lovely weather but just not enough rain. We harvested the last of the peas and spinach today, and a few early green beans. Absolutely delicious!Cynthia Gilbrethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17124840580430749378noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7871855805349050304.post-51432155429959964692012-05-20T23:33:50.653-04:002012-05-20T23:33:50.653-04:00An indigo bunting - what a treat!

We think the warbler moved on but the bunting has been here every night around six for about a twenty minute pigout on sunflower seeds. DH and I sit out on the deck and just watch the show every evening with all our winged visitors. We love to birdwatch.Bunnyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03672695141031447916noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7871855805349050304.post-2716109179335373042012-05-20T19:55:00.855-04:002012-05-20T19:55:00.855-04:00Love your birdfeeder, I bet you see lots of action...Love your birdfeeder, I bet you see lots of action there.Beth (SunnyGal Studio)https://www.blogger.com/profile/08891740887743925587noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7871855805349050304.post-21206019079507318082012-05-20T19:05:29.698-04:002012-05-20T19:05:29.698-04:00Beautiful yard!Beautiful yard!shamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06070023218199309005noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7871855805349050304.post-9818902997740506262012-05-20T17:06:19.080-04:002012-05-20T17:06:19.080-04:00Your garden is lovely.

I was out in mine today, mostly the roses, but we are beginning to experience the early edges of that tropical storm so I came inside. Around here we can go for 9 or 10 weeks w/o rain as we did the summer of 2010. This year we are getting lots, too much for some people, but it's more than fine w/ me. Love your hand-sewing project.anniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07699932588900046494noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7871855805349050304.post-75762392241865370572012-05-20T16:43:55.108-04:002012-05-20T16:43:55.108-04:00Bunny your garden is really looking pretty - glad ...Bunny your garden is really looking pretty - glad to hear the plants are starting to recover from their move. As for you using your wool to line your plant window boxes - this is so funny, but I guess if you are not going to use the fabric for yourself its been put to good use.<br /><br />I don't know about you, but there often doesn't seem enough hours in the day.pdiddlyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12231666147175522583noreply@blogger.com
