While staying at a countryside farm bed and breakfast, this was our view. There was a fairy cottage on the property near this lily pond, so I like to call it a fairy garden. So beautiful and peaceful and green. At night we could hear a lot of chirping coming from the pond.
Deadhead Roses for Better Blooms
By Judy
You should discard, or deadhead, spent blooms on roses so the plant doesn't expend any more energy on them. When you deadhead, the plant will use its energy to make more blooms, and larger blooms.

I always pot some of my herbs to bring in during the cold weather, then you have fresh herbs all year long!
This simple project is a wonderful way to use the china teacups gathering dust on your shelves. Filled with soil and ivy they make dainty and long-lived planters.
