Since I have several friends having babies I thought it might be beneficial for them if I brought back to life my favorite list. I have to say that I am a minimalist, when it comes to baby products. I will be objective for those of you product junkies. Okay…now that I have finished typing […]
Here goes. More clean up, clean up. As we discuss getting our lawn ready for Spring we also need to think about our plants in containers and pots. It is very simple. In the below photo the bottom right picture was the asparagus fern before the divide and then see it in the basket after […]
Good Morning! Believe it or not it is time to prepare your lawn for Spring. I know the weather in Dallas this week is not inspiring, but it is time. How to begin preparing: 1. Clean Up 2. Fertilize 3. Stop Weeds 4. Mulch I say clean up first because if you have a lot […]
