Turning ordinary branches into a winter wonderland!
This DIY project is super easy, quick and gorgeous! Taking branches from the garden and with a few "ingredients" you can create a gorgeous winter/holiday display! I used large branches for this outdoor planter and placed them directly in the soil. Smaller branches make beautiful indoor centerpieces using epson salt in the base of your vase, you have a sparkly winter wonderland!

Pruning a rhododendron (helping out my new friend)

    How well do these hold up at room temperature? Do you have any suggestions for peanut butter alternatives? My son has a school project that these would be great for, if they don’t melt. But there is a peanut allergy in his class, so I will have to substitute that ingredient

      Great questions and thanks for watching. I would try subbing the PB using more lard. I found mine at Walmart. You can also substitute with almond or cashew butter depending on allergies. The birds aren’t too picky:) they love the fat and I like to use the most natural ingredients I can find. As far as temp… room temp is fine. Really hot temps aren’t great for suet. Let me know if they make these… that would be so cool:)

    Great video! I especially liked the tips about the root slayer shovel and letting the root rest a day after digging so it won't be so brittle. I'm working on a collection of older double varieties and have many planted already, but the oldest are only 3 years old and I haven't done this dividing yet. I only want one of each variety on my list, so I'll be giving roots away too.

    I'm curious - what brand of slicing cucumber did you plant? We're having moderately good success with "Sweet Success", but not much from Straight 8. Our current favorite peppers are "Carmen" - an elongated (bull's horn type)variety that's very prolific and delicious green or red or in-between. Our location: a few miles north of Ellsworth.

      Yes it works. I have revived many petunias and she(Maine gardens) showed the Petunia plant was not rootbound. It was mostly soil and if this is the case, all that was needed was the coffee filter I use it even On all my pots, it provides great drainage, prevent the soil from seeping onto your deck or the concrete floor. It is recommended that you change the coffee filters every two years.

    I agree on good soil. In the Midwest we have a lot of clay. I use mowed leaves every Fall & my homemade compost. I own a dwarf bunny to use his pelleted manure as fertilizer. The fertilizer is well rounded. Not just nitrogen. Too much nitrogen, & you get full lush leaves & no fruit. I also use fish emulsion on young plants. Watering deeply is important too.
