Needles-n-Pins Stitcheries: Creating An Outdoor Herb Garden

This time of year gardens are growing everywhere. There are flower gardens and vegetable gardens just growing in the sunshine. So how about a herb garden. I know many people grow their own herbs and my daughter just started a small one herself. I saw this posting the other day and thought I would share it with you so you can get some ideas of starting your own outside herb garden. There are several ideas on this posting from TheIdeaRoom.

After reading this I think maybe I should try some of these ideas! :)

Happy gardening!

Needles-n-Pins Stitcheries: Let's Plant Those Gardens

Well May is here and it is time to really get busy and plant those gardens. Whether you are a flower gardener or a vegetable gardener there is planning to do. I collected a few tutorials from Pinterest to give you a few ideas on how to plant that garden this year. When I was searching for these tutorials I was amazed at all the different ways to garden. Here are a few I found.....

If you need to have a raised bed for your flowers or vegetables (which I would need) The Home Depot has a great tutorial on how to build one of these.

Do you grow herbs? Do you have a limited amount of space to grow your herbs? How about this cute idea from Home Talk.

Do you have a little place on your deck or porch that needs a little sprucing up with some flowers? Try this idea from Melissa atThe Inspired Room.

Now if you are short on space Apartment Therapy has a wonderful tutorial on how to grow vegetables, flowers, herbs, etc in a small space! What a great idea!

Then last but not least for those of you who really wan't to get elaborate with your flowers how about trying this out! I think it looks amazing and would love to have something like this in my yard, but then the moose would just eat the flowers and drink the water! LOL! Flea Market Gardening has the instructions on how to do this. 

So if you love to garden and love those flowers and vegetables, Spring is here so you can get started planting those gardens. 

HAPPY GARDENING!
