If it’s too gray or rainy to be out playing in your garden — or if you need an excuse to take a break from the weeding — here’s some gardening links you might enjoy.
Spring plant sales in the Seattle area.
Includes five sales, the first one is this weekend.
How to make mosaic garden art.
For gardeners with an artistic side. This is a fantastic how to. I think the mosaic shovel is a fun idea.
A great blog on urban gardening.
I love reading the Shibaguyz’s updates on their impressive Seattle gardening efforts.
A down-to-earth (ha!) take on getting kids involved in gardening. I really love The Shibaguyz’s practical take: “Want your kids to have respect for the Earth and grow up to not make the same mistakes some of us did? Put them in the garden with you. Yes, a plant may get broken or a seed planted out of place… big woo… plant another one.”
Recycle your stuff, and help out your garden, too.
Includes ideas for newspapers, plastic bottles and old bed sheets.
Egg shells (check it out, I bet it’s not what you think), toilet paper rolls and milk jugs.
What to do with old nylons, wine corks, plastic knives and more.
“The Victory Garden” video clips.
How-tos and information from PBS.
