Holy Java Grounds!

When I think of ground coffee, I think of that wonderful stuff that wakes me up every morning. A nice pot of hot fresh coffee, always starts my day off!

But little did I know, that you can do more with coffee than drink it. It actually can be used as a plant fertilizer, ant deterrent, deodorizer.....who knew! Don't believe it? Well look for yourself at some things that coffee can be used for. So don't throw those coffee grinds away after you've made your pot of coffee!

Got Ants? No problem, just sprinkle some dry coffee grounds outside doors, cracks or wherever those pesky insects are coming from.

Smelly Freezer or Frig? Get the odor out simply by filling a small bowl with fresh or used coffee grounds and leave overnight. For a flavored coffee scent, just add a couple of drops of vanilla

Cats In The Garden? Shoo them away from using your garden as a litter box with a mixture of orange peels and used coffee grounds placed around your plants.

Need Fertilizer? Use old coffee grounds to fertilize rosebushes, azaleas, rhododendrons, evergreens, and camellias.

Coffee Playdough? You bet! Kids can have fun with this easy home made clay. Simply mix about 2 cups of dried coffee grounds with a 1/2 of a cup of salt and 1 to 2 cups of corn meal. Add in enough warm water to get the dough to the consistency you like.

Hands Smell Like Garlic? Get rid of the odors after peeling or chopping onions and garlic by rubbing a small amount of dry used coffee grounds on your hands.

Keep on saving!

Bonsai!

mycoupons | 27 August, 2007 22:26

Yesterday on my gardening blog, I wrote about my adventure to Maryland this past weekend and my friend's garden. Aside from their outdoor garden they also have an "indoor garden"..... loads of houseplants in the house.

Today, reflecting back on my weekend spent with them and thinking of how to show my appreciation besides just a thank you and hugs for our friends wonderful hospitality, I decided with the end of the outdoor gardening season coming soon, that I would send something to add to the "indoor garden"

I thought what better than to add a bonsai plant to the houseplant collection. What is a bonsai plant you ask? Bonsai plants are living miniature trees which increase in beauty and value as they mature over the years. Bonsai is the reproduction of natural tree forms in miniature and an art form in itself.

So this is what I've decided to do, to send my friend a beautiful Bonsai plant. Where am I buying a Bonsai plant from? Bonsaiboy.com.

Bonsaiboy.com has been selling Bonsai trees and supplies online since 1993! They sell everything you need to either enlarge your Bonsai collection or to start one. From a huge selection of Bonsai trees, Bonsai seeds, pots, soils, grow lights and so much more. Don't have a "green thumb"? Looking for an easy-to-care-for tree? Check out their web page entitled "Bonsai Boy's Recommendations" for trees that do well in less than favorable conditions, such as poor indoor lighting, neglected watering or if your inexperienced with Bonsai trees.

If you are thinking of trying your gardening hand out with Bonsai trees or maybe a gift for a someone you know who already grows them, then be sure to click on over to the MyCoupons.com exclusive coupon code area. Right now, there is a unique coupon offer for 15% off any purchase at Bonsaiboy.com using coupon code MC-MYCOUPON

Keep on saving!

A Mezmerizing Weekend....

mycoupons | 27 August, 2007 09:28

Hi there my gardening friends!

Normally on Mondays I answer gardening questions submitted by members. However, today I want to share with you a wonderful experience I had over the weekend and it does pertain to gardening.

When one thinks of gardening it usually generates thoughts of growing vegetables and herbs. To me at least, gardening is much more than that. Gardening is about life. Whether it is the plant life you've created by planting that seed in the soil or the life that God has created in the form of insects, specifically butterflies or our feathered friends that visit our gardens.

My weekend began late Friday night with a trip to our friend's home in a small town in Maryland near the Chesapeake Bay.

Our friends decided to move away and trade the hustle & bustle of city life and a small home and neighbors only 15 feet away for a 4,000 square foot home on 5 acres in quaint and quiet surroundings about 2 years ago. Though our children have gone back and forth to see each other, we had never made the trek to their new home due to busy life. After being asked the ump-teenth time, we had decided this past weekend to get away and visit our friends.

When we arrived, I could see a world so different from what I had just left a few hours ago, even in the dark of night.

In the morning, I arose to the smell of delicious coffee and a scrumptious big breakfast. After eating, I excused myself and proceeded to then open the sliding glass door onto a wrap-around deck, that surrounded half the house. On this deck my eyes now see a world of a true garden.

There's a small handmade pond that our friends created containing large goldfish and frogs. The yard itself surrounded by woods and in the yard, a vegetable garden, peach trees, fig trees, apple trees, tons of different flowers and birdhouses

In this yard my friend also had a chain attached from her deck that ran a good length down her property. This chain had bird feeders of every kind and suet hanging.

My eyes could not stop taking in the sightings of many different kinds of birds this chain of feeders was attracting. Cowbirds, Chickadees, Gold Finches so yellow it was like seeing spots of gold. There were also Cardinals, Baltimore Orioles, woodpeckers and many more that I can't name.

All of a sudden I hear a hummmmmmm and feel a whiz go by me. What was that? Thinking it may have been a gigantic bee, I now notice that my friend, we call her Me-Maw, has not one but several hummingbird feeders. These feeders are spaced about 5 feet away from each other going around the whole length of this wrap-around deck.

This hummmmm I had heard was the amazing ruby-throated hummingbird. Something I have not seen in many, many years. I was ecstatic just to see one of these tiny creatures, but there was not just one hummingbird, Me-maw's yard was full of them! As we sat on the deck surrounded by these feeders, I was mesmerized by the tons of hummingbirds zipping by us. These tiny feathered friends, not only captured my attention but my heart. I didn't care it was 108 degrees outside, I sat there in a chair for several hours captivated by them.

One female hummingbird even hovered in front of my DH and I. She was only a hand-width away from our faces. She hovered in front of us as though she was looking into our eyes and saying "Hi, you're new here". I could do nothing but shed tears of happiness as it was nothing that I had ever experienced before.

At one point Me-maw's hubby Be-Pop gets up out of his chair and runs inside and quickly returns with a pair of binoculars. Handing us the binoculars, he says "Quick, look into the sky through the binoculars at that pair of big birds up there". Ok, "why I ask, what kind of birds are they?" Be-pop tells us they are American Bald eagles. We look through the binoculars and see the most majestic birds ever.

I could go on about my visit, but there is just not enough time or space. All I can say is that after being there and spending time there, I did not want to come back home. I didn't want to leave my hummingbird friends who had captured my heart. I had seen a garden that to me was truly a garden in my definition of it.

We returned home late last night. As we are unpacking the trunk, there underneath our belongings, we find hummingbird feeders that Me-maw put in there with us not knowing. Attached, a note saying "Here's to starting another garden, a garden of feathered friends"!

Thanks Me-Maw and Be-Pop for a weekend that taught and gave me so much. It will live with me forever!
