Creating a Homegrown and Homemade Life
Can you believe it’s already December? Soon Christmas will be here before you know it. Take time out of the busy holiday season for some DIY gifts to make with kids. Not only will it create some lasting memories and possibly traditions, but the kids will enjoy making something to give on Christmas.
Although the tomatoes are small now, they will soon be toppling out of those flimsy tomato cages. Get ahead of the problem now with some DIY sturdy tomato cages. They will actually hold the plants up all summer unlike those cheap store bought ones. Do it now and thank me later.
Do your peas need a good place to climb? This DIY pea trellis is sturdy and easy to build. It works great for peas, cucumbers, or any other vining plant with small produce. When placed in the garden, it isn’t an eye sore like some of those metal cages. As you can tell I’m in love with my new pea trellis.
Do you have hummingbird feeders ready to be filled up? If you are still buying the mix or liquid at the store this is your sign to STOP! I have a recipe that is much healthier for the birds and much cheaper for you. With just two basic ingredients you can make some homemade hummingbird nectar for pennies. The hummingbirds will love it and keep coming back for more.
I am a sucker for beautiful front porches. A porch swing, a rocking chair, and somewhere to put my mason jar of sweet tea. I spent a lot of time on the front porch of our old house. I can’t wait to use the porch at the new house this summer. This DIY rustic outdoor side table is easy to build and makes your front porch the perfect place for a morning coffee or afternoon sweet tea. The side table can easily be built in an afternoon and will add some farmhouse charm to your front porch.
