To do this, use a hole-puncher to punch small holes in the very corner of each seed pack. Be sure not to puncture the pack where the seeds can spill. Then, thread ribbon through each of the holes and tie them around the statue, birdbath, or patio furniture with excess curly...

The Unusual World Of Roses: Believe It Or Not!
2007-09-05 09:56:00
There is a charming story of a young couple who, on their wedding day, were given an unusual gift by their in-laws. The canal that encircled the town was filled with rose water so that the newly weds could watch the sunset through scented breezes as they floated along the canal. The hot afternoon sun caused the rose water to begin to evaporate and during this process, rose oil was separated from rose water. Thus, rose oil or "Attar" was discovered and the lucrative scent industry was born.True or not, this wonderful story is one of many that grace the long history of the rose. We know for example that Cleopatra used rose water in her boat sails to "scent the breeze" and we also know that the plasterers building the Mosques of Baghdad used rosewater in the cement mix so that when built, the walls would help fill the evening breezes with the sweet smell of roses. But what of unusual roses?There are no blue roses although "Blue Moon" claims to come close and there are, as yet, no black...

Wall-fountains Bring Tranquility To A Small Garden
2007-09-05 09:52:00
Wall-fountains run the gamut from classical Greek figures and wall mounted gargoyles to sleek modern art forms and spouting frogs and fish. A wall fountain usually spills water through--such as a mask or a decorative plaque--into a basin which hides a small pump. The statuary can be terra cotta, plastic, fiberglass, cast concrete (often designed to mimic terra-cotta or stone), or metal. Stone and cast-concrete wall fountains require a wall strong enough to support their weight, as well as sturdy, well-secured mounting hardware.Hiding the Return Pipe and Cord on a Wall-FountainWall-fountains look best if the return pipe doesn't show. Thus, the best place for these fountains is a freestanding wall that allows you to run the plumbing behind it. However, this is rarely practical for many situations. Small features work best, such as on a townhouse patio.Alternatives include hiding the tubing with vines or chiseling a vertical niche down the wall to run the tubing and then mortaring ove...
