Rain, rain GO AWAY! This year is mirroring last year when Ohio broke the record for average rainfall in 2018. Throughout the state have had flash floods, road closures,and full on floods of areas in the state that rarely if ever flood. Farmer's fields are as wet as over saturated sponges and there are many that haven't planted and doubt they will this year.
Personally we're OK, and the helpful folks at the Ohio Department of Transportation have come up with a creative solution to clean up all of this wet mess, check it out!

How to Make Garden Plant Markers
The theme of this year’s container herb garden is Hey, That’s Different, Let’s See If It Will Grow (and We Need Cilantro.)
Which means I need plant markers to identify what this stuff is once it comes time to harvest it for cooking. Sure, some of the plants came with a plastic plant label stuck in the pot but I had to split some of those plants up into different plant pots that make up my small patio container garden.
I want a set of plant markers that is cute and somewhat unique. I turned to my little stash of on deck items to repurpose (or formally recycle in our bin after a given time limit) and made plant markers from recycled aluminum cans. I got four plant tags from one aluminum pop can and put the scrap into my city recycling bin.

Gardening Hack: How to Know When to Water Your Vegetable Garden the Lazy Way!
The only reason my first attempt at growing a vegetable garden survived is because my husband and I worked on the project together.
Basically, I forget that plants need water to grow.
Gardening experts say vegetable gardens should be watered 2 to 3 times a week to promote healthy growth and nice deep roots. I start out doing that after I plant my garden but once you throw rain into the mix, I either accidentally over water or under water depending upon if I wait for a rainstorm.
Either it doesn’t rain enough to water the plants enough or I don’t want to take a chance on the weather forecast for rain failing me again and water the garden only to be followed by a heavy thunderstorm.
So yeah, up until now my garden fails are a result of watering too much or not enough.

How to Grow Basil Plants From Cuttings
Basil is one of my favorite herbs to grow in my self watering container garden. It is affordable (especially if you grow basil from seeds,) fairly hardy (since I often forget plants need water to live,) and is the easiest (and cheapest) way to cook with the fancy varieties (opal basil, anyone?) I never see for sale in the grocery store. (Disclosure: I am including some affiliate links for your convenience.)
But the thing I really love about growing basil is if you have one basil plant, you can use it to propagate the clippings to grow more basil plants!
Yes, really!

How to Naturally Kill Grubs and Japanese Beetles with Milky Spore
When we bought our condo, the builder planted spirea bushes in front of all of the houses in the neighborhood. Those pretty pink flowers were quite attractive – to Japanese beetles and grubs.
Commercial grub killers from the big box store do not work for me which I only tried as a last resort. I was leery of what the 90% OTHER INGREDNETS listed on the ingredients label actually were since they had a warning about not using the stuff around kids, dogs, and fish ponds.
The only thing that worked was using the all natural, people and pet safe organic grub killing combo of Milky Spore powder and Beneficial nematodes in my flowerbeds. (Disclosure: I am including a few big bold affiliate links in this post for your convenience because I couldn’t find any of these items for sale locally and figure you might be in the same boat too.)
Now if I was smart and applied Milky Spore to my grass and lawn when I did the flower bed years ago, the good Milky Spore bacteria would have been fruitful and multiplied in the soil throughout my property by now.
While the flower beds are naturally pest free but I found a grub in the yard recently and where there is one grub there are a dozen or more. Live and learn should have applied my organic pest killer to the yard too. But my shortsightedness is your gain because I can write you a quick and easy tutorial.
