Grow Your Own Starts
Starting
your own plants from seed can give you a wider choice of cultivars than
what you can often find as transplants at the local garden center. It
also ensures that you will have healthy plants at the right time to set
out. |

While the tradition of
decorating eggs at Easter has long endured, the products available for
dyeing Easter eggs have evolved. The familiar dissolving discs are

mushrooms, so much so that she grows them on her property in Georgia.

Dream
pillows are used to promote restful sleep and pleasant dreams. They are
small and flat, placed in a standard pillow, and stuffed with a sachet
of calming and sleep-inducing dried herbs. As the sleeper sleeps,
movements of the head will gently crush the herbs to release delightful
scents and please the senses throughout the night.

an Arrowhead

Start a Garden
First-time gardeners are
encouraged to start small, perhaps with a "kitchen garden" that will
offer fresh herbs and a small quantity of fruits and vegetables for use
in summer meals. |

Build
a Treehouse
Treehouses
should be designed to rest upon major branches and to nestle around the
trunk. This will minimize the need for any injurious attachments.
Remember trees bend and twist in the wind, so simply jamming or wedging
boards between branches or into crotches will lead to failure |
