Inspiration from Brenda's Patio
It has been years and years since I've followed Brenda's life adventures through her blog, Cozy Little House. She and her precious dogs went from a large house in Texas with a gorgeous yard with babbling brooks and waterfalls, to a small house in Oklahoma and finally has settled in her tiny apartment in Oklahoma.
The photo is from her latest blog post about entertaining outdoors. Click here to go to the post and get a look at the rest of her impressive patio garden.
Her patio garden is a run of the mill apartment concrete patio. She has used her imagination and turned it into a very impressive, peaceful place. She takes container gardening to a new dimension. I want that gazebo!
Hope you draw some inspiration from Brenda! If she can create a paradise from a concrete floor, those of us with a real yard can create a beautiful and peaceful place too :) Check out the rest of her blog for great home dec ideas for indoors too.

The Summer Garden
Summer gardening can be totally overwhelming!
Experienced gardeners have come up with many tips and tricks to make it less overwhelming and more enjoyable. One of those tips is setting aside 15 minutes a day . . . a concept I like to use for any task. I've found that once you get in the habit of doing something every day, it becomes routine and actually extends beyond the 15 minutes.
One gardening blog, Tenth Acre Farm, has laid out an excellent plan as a guide to June gardening which most tasks are also good for the whole summer. Check it out here. Awesome blog!
Happy Gardening!

Flowering Perennials
Bursts of color all over the garden can be a spectacular and soothing sight. One of my favorite things to do is color-coordinate sections.
Click here for an article on Flowering Perennials from Better Homes and Gardens. Plan for continuous color by mixing perennials and annuals. It is fun to experiment!

Sago Palm Outdoor Care
The photo is from my paradise before a few harsh winters wiped out the landscape. My beloved sago palm is at the bottom left of the photo. It was killed by an infestation that hit Florida hard. Love sago palms!

Natural Ways to Combat Aphids
Finding an infestation of aphids on one of your favorite plants is not something you want to see in the garden.
One of the tricks I learned to combat aphids is to keep the leaves clean, even if it is just a routine spray of water. Once you experience aphids, you don't want to go there again.
Frugal Family Home has an excellent post on aphids that is very informative on all aspects of these pests. Click here to go to the article.
