How I Use Fabric Pots For Gardening
I am curious about the word "allotment". Is it just another word for your yard over there in the UK? It does take time. I've been busy lugging dirt to all my garden beds to be ready to plant by the end of May. I assume you are retiring and ...

That's an interesting idea. Having little ground area to plant causes us to think outside the box doesn't it?

I try not to log on unless I'm promoting some products too. Then I take some time to see and pin other images as well.

I think the soil warms quicker for starting seedlings when they are planted in the raised container. And the black fabric of course holds heat. I agree that certain vegetables need the ground to spread out.

I use Pinterest every day to pin from Zazzle and other boards I visit. I look for healthy recipes and gardening tips for myself, as well as art. I have to be careful of the time I spend there - it can get out of control!

Organize Photo Clutter by Creating Personalized Photo Books
I have hundreds - perhaps thousands - of photos I've taken over the years. Some are in albums, while others are just stuffed in bags and drawers. I recently learned about photobooks, and think they are great! Now, if I can just find the time ...

How to keep snakes away
I have a lot of snakes on my property. I keep my grass cut short, and the livestock feed in sealed containers. It doesn't keep all of the snakes away, but they are few and far between.

I think it's here to stay for a while. There's too many angles that appeal to people. For some it's recipes, others crafts, home remedies. It's not just one segment of the population
