As long as the roots are in water, the sky is the limit on arrangement. Planters with many stems are proportionally more expensive. Short stems of bamboo sell for a dollar or so. The stems are typically "planted" in a decorative ceramic pot or glass vase...
A garden angel added just the right touch to the top of the tree.Special ornaments that I make each year are packets of seeds collected from my garden. Next came all of my garden ornaments.

It's much too well-designed to discard.Our friends were truly amazed when they visited and were able to see the hummingbirds feeding or resting right at the window. This feeder will be kept and used on another window.
Often times I could find AV's in not-too-bad-a-shape for just a dollar. I ended up making a card (shown above) to stick in the potting soil of each favor with a willow branch.On the outside of the card I stamped an organic looking wildflower image.

The 'mother' plant with the smaller babies surrounding it is how the common name 'hens and chickens' came about and the various sizes of the plants in a grouping is very attractive, either in the garden or in a container.

I place one loose sheet just inside the frame before pulling up some pulp. (For this demonstration, I am using a bag of shredded paper from my sister's office.) Meanwhile, collect dry seeds, flowers, leaves and such from the garden.
Powdery mildew is a fungus that thrives in damp, humid conditions, so keeping the leaves dry with good air circulation is the best prevention. If you have your heart set on giant red flowers or the neon combination of purple and chartreuse, chances are,...

Farmers are pleased with Senate's amendment to exempt farm trucks from bill S.1813, allowing flexibility with state-border regulations, and await House approval. “Subjecting family farmers and ranchers to costly requirements is an unnecessary burden...
(Oh, those resilient peppers, able to grow among the thickest weeds—I'll never leave them out of my garden again.) However, I never staked my tomatoes or trellised my cucumbers, so those were complete disasters, and hardly a winter squash grew.
Why not try it? It flowers slightly later for me than Herrenhausen and has a paler flower, which is more abundant and billowing. The bees and butterflies will thank-you! We often tend to be single minded with the thought of planting herbs, and think only...
