Willie Chance who is now retired from UGA Extension in Houston County says that he knows of no reason not to talk to your plants, but suggests you stop if they begin to talk back. In fact he is making a serious point that although you will not hear what they are saying, [...]

		<title>Garden Statues And A Grass Lamp</title>
		<description><![CDATA[



Image via Wikipedia



Garden statues come in all shapes and sizes, but this one I found is rather more ambitious than most.  “At 22 feet long and 11 feet tall, this Jurassic-sized replica is the largest sculpture we have ever offered! Realistically sculpted with rows of menacing teeth, a fearsome tail and scaly skin, our prehistoric [...]

		<description><![CDATA[When you see a headline &#8220;Giant Man-Shaped Travelling Garden&#8221; and below it a picture of a plot measring 60 meters square planted with herbs in the shape of a man, there is clearly a problem. How can a large herb garden firmly rooted in the earth travel even a few meters, let alone from town [...]

		<title>Cat Repellent or How to Keep Cats Out of Your Garden</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This was the title of an article that I wrote way back in December 2004 and submitted to the Ezine Articles Directory. Keeping cats, in particular other people&#8217;s cats, out of your garden is clearly a major problem judging by the number of sites that show up when you type &#8220;cat repellent&#8221; into Google or [...]

Starting with the water this is a waterfall, or rather a water feature consisting of four waterfalls in which the liquid appears to travel uphill. Inspired by the [...]

		<title>Sky Planters, Christmas Trees and a Hori Hori</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
In general December is a quiet month for gardeners since most people are now concentrating on preparing for Christmas. There&#8217;s plenty of advice in the local papers on what to buy your gardening friends, but it&#8217;s mostly the same suggestions that we get every year. One headline that did catch my eye was &#8220;Nothing says [...]

		<title>Landscaping Pavements and November Cleanup</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Landscaping a pavement sounds like a contradiction in terms until you realise that what Tony Tomeo, writing in the Los Gatos Weekly-Times, is talking about is growing plants in pots.
