Turn Your Front Yard into a Garden

Turn Your Front Yard into a Garden


Turn Your Front Yard into a Garden

Posted: 04 May 2010 06:35 PM PDT

Personally, I'm not one for lawns.  I am not vehemently opposed to them or anything, but lawns need to serve a functional purpose in my landscape.  My dogs aren't about to be set loose in the front yard, and I'm not about to start a croquet match in it.  If I had kids, I doubt I would send them out ...

Posted: 27 Apr 2010 07:51 PM PDT

You have to treat a little antique footstool just like an old person, gentleness and kindness. It turns out, after a little local research, this stool belonged to a prominent Indianapolis physician in the early 1920's and it cost $5.00 to make.  A little TLC updated, refreshed and turned this old...

Sugar Infused Apple-Cinnamon Ice Cream

Posted: 04 May 2010 03:55 AM PDT

Normally, fresh chunks of apple frozen in ice cream are as hard as a rock. But if you infuse them with a sugar solution, they remain soft and tasty. This sugar solution acts like a kind of anti-freeze because it has a lower freezing point than the apple (see graph below for the explanation). T...
