BellaOnline Forums Home and Garden Container Gardening Lurkers United!

Hello one and all,

Looks like LURKERS UNITED is doing well in the leagues when it comes to reading! Why not come out and play along by posting replies too?

Do you have any lessons learnt to share? Any gardening advice or observations to talk of? Any experiences to tell about over this past freezing winter and now into the green spring? Any summer container gardening stories to speak about as you prepare now to go into your winter? Thank heavens the world is still turning.

'Come along now' as they say in classrooms all over the world, say your say - it will be as welcome as it is easy.

Cheers now

Well, not really lurking today, but I want to tell you about a DIY craft that I want to try to make some little herb pots.

Take a clay pot and paint the outside with a light color. You could also use a glazed pot or light colored plastic pot. Use nail polish to make a design. Use this video to see the technique that you can adapt to garden pots.

Watercolor Mug Tutorial

I would finish it off by writing the name of the herb on the pot and applying a coat of acrylic finishing spray to make the design permanent.

Lestie, not really lurking, just looking for you! I wanted you to know that I took your Apricot Dessert and turned it into the inspiration for a new dessert. You know that I am unable to leave a recipe alone--just have to mess with it. That's a good thing, since all of the recipes on my site have to be original. Thank you for, once again, being my food Muse. Hugs!

Look for it next Saturday.

The article is up on the Sandwiches Site in the Desserts and Sweets section.

Lestie, I found my peppadew jar lurking in the pantry. I am going to use it this week and publish a review.
