Self Watering Garden Containers

Self watering planters/containers are great for any garden. You can find them in all different  sizes and styles. 

Here are just a few available at Amazon.
                                 










What is a self watering containers?

Water is stored at the bottom of the container.  Some just store the water and the plants roots will take in water when needed.  Other systems have tubing to connect for circulating the water. Both systems should give you more days in between watering.

The best part of using planters it eliminates hours of weeding.

Planted Early Straight Neck Squash - 50 Seeds in a rectangle self water container.  Just planted three seeds.  The planter itself was not a fancy one.  Made a trellis to support plant and squash.  This worked out pretty good.

Putting In A Pond

Last year over summer vacation, my two girls got bored. They came up with the idea to put a small pond in the front yard. Sounded like a great idea, but mom has one condition. They have to do all the work themselves. After clearing it with dad, they started the work right away.

My husband and I were really surprised, that by the end of the second summer the pond was taking form. It is ready for the next step.

For this year they are finished. Time to research prices for liners, plants, and pumps. Can't forget what kind of fish to put in it.
