What's Up Today

I'll get both links for you. My friend really likes them. The lights works great; so, no bugs; and, the paint makes it easy to keep clean; but, also, NONE skid when it rains which is nice. He also added an outside rug under the table. Home Depot, Lowes and Walmart all carry them. They are mildew resistant, can get wet and washed right with the hose. Not affected by pool water either which is nice.

Also, if you check sales on the lanai parts of Target, Walmart, Home Depot, and Lowes; they often put on great deals. They have wooden or plastic tubs which is great for pool storage; even towels or grill equipment. I got one that was 200/reduced to 39 w/free shipping. So, keep an eye on those sites.

I know you will enjoy it. Outside is the best.

Will do! Thank you GF.

Looks awesome Deely! I am so happy it has finally warmed up. Today was gorgeous. Got so many flowers to fill my hanging baskets today at the Amish Greenhouse. Excited! I bought all my plants for the garden. It has been a lovely warm day!

Thanks Dissie. I'm glad to see the weather warming up in most parts. What are you planting in your garden this year?

These are fun to put on the wall too. I get the 8' gutters and gut to 24-36" each. I just used white for me. This isn't my pic. But, you can screw them right into your cement wall. Great to grow inside flowers, and herbs. I simply drill a few holes at the bottom for drainage. Simply plant and watch them grow. NOW, you do need some light; but, there are many flowers and herbs that don't take much light.

I scattered 24" sections on my wall. Just add the end caps and enjoy easy planters.

Dill, mint, oregano, lavendar all grow well. And, tons of annuals for shade or semi sun; and they will be easy to take care of. Very little care. It allows you to grow lettuce too in hot months.

These are painted. I just do white. what my porch, trim and gutters are. They look great. I have posted many pics, but new computer; I will have to take another shot.

My tomatoes are about 3 weeks away, peppers, eggplant, zucchini, cucumber, peas I just harvested; and scallions year round for me. Also lettuce, I keep planting in batches

[Dissie]

I got enough flowers to fill 6 hanging pots, and 3 stand on the ground pots. I need more! we had impatiens and another one, not sure of the name but it was pretty! LOL Need more pots!


I got 20 tomato plants, peppers of all sorts, onions, eggplant, cabbage, brussels, cucumbers, zucchini and cucumbers. I think thats it. I will plant pole beans, radishes, peas and lettuce, they are fast growers and can do them from seeds. Oh and potatoes. Think thats it. I also have rhubarb already coming up! So sad I can't get my corn from my guy this year, but his daughter moved him into her home, (he is 89) He always planted 3 acres of sweet corn for the deer. He let us friends take what we wanted, but what was left was for the deer.

I see a happy planting time ahead for you Dissie. We have to wait a couple more weeks to be sure no more frost. The snow has to becompletely gone from the "Fly" Hills ( our local hills) before we know that there will be no more cold winds & frost.
Our lilacs are in bloom and the scent is heavenly

Deely here is the link for the zappers. What we like it was hanging out of the way in the yard. Works great on his huge back yard. Also, nothing can crawl up it too which is a plus. He ended up getting 2 because his porch is an L and wraps around to the jacuzzi; but, 1 would be sufficient for your area I would think.

Be back with the outside paint/deck link. I have it in my office.

This is what he used. It is textured, NO skid, colored; and cleans off easy.
