The sun’s guarding my garden

Do you decorate your garden?

I have a few ceramic and metal pieces scattered throughout the garden beds, on the fence or in this case on the wall of my enclosed back porch. I think my garden decor is tasteful and there’s only a few items scattered throughout the garden so it’s certainly not overwhelming. If anything is overwhelming in my garden it’s the roses.

My sun ornament is beside my green pole beans which really do grow on poles – bamboo poles that is. You can even see some green bean dangling beside the sun if you look closely. Perhaps my sun ornament is helping the beans grow?

I have cucumbers beside the beans and we finally got to pick a cucumber on Saturday. It was hiding behind several leaves and we surprisingly didn’t see it for a while. It’s close to two feet long and is at least 2.5 inches in diameter! It’s huge! Perhaps we’ll make some cucumber sandwiches later today. Mmmmm.

Gardeners, Plant and Nature lovers can join in every Sunday, visit As the Garden Grows for more information.

Handcrafted picnic tables in a variety of quality woods

If you’re shopping for new patio furniture or possible a wooden picnic table that compliments your existing outdoor furniture you should visit allpicnictables.com.

allpicnictables7_01.jpg They have a wide selection of high quality picnic tables in a variety of woods such as cedar, pine, select pine, cherry, oak and teak.

If you’re like me, when you think of a picnic table you probably think of the traditional style like the red cedar one off to the right, but you can also browse through All Picnic Tables selection of round, square, rectangular, oval and hexagon shaped picnic tables. Plus, if you’d like a more modern look you can find vinyl, coated metal, aluminum, polywood and galvanized steel tables too.

Each of their wooden tables are hand crafted using quality woods.

They are made to withstand years of outdoor use. Allpicnictables.com is a division of CedarStore.com which was first established in 1992 in the western PA area. Due to their products high quality and craftsmanship it’s not surprising that their tables and other products are being ordered from all areas of the continental USA. If you like their tables, but you aren’t in the USA don’t worry.

You can arrange for international shipping.

Chris and I already have a very nice patio set, but I noticed that Allpicnictables.com also sells table benches, patio chairs, furniture covers, patio umbrellas and even garden benches. I decided to take a look at the garden benches and discovered this beautiful three person Wicker Sofa. Isn’t it beautiful?

sofas_3896.jpg I’d love to have an outdoor sofa in my beautiful garden and I wouldn’t mind having that specific sofa. You can even select from a variety of fabrics for the sofa cushions so you’ll be sure to get something that suits your tastes and perhaps goes with your other outdoor furniture pieces. There are other wicker furniture pieces to choose from as well.

Overall I’m quite pleased by the selection of quality outdoor furniture and handcrafted picnic tables at allpicnictables.com. The prices are reasonable too. Visit the site and see how beautiful their outdoor furniture is with your own eyes.

Solar lights in the garden

by Tricia

I was just wondering how many of my readers use accent lighting in the garden?

We didn’t want the hassle of putting in an electric lighting system and I figured that in the long run we’d save more money by using solar lights so that’s the kind of accent lighting we use in our garden.

We also purchased a number of garden torches. I think they are about five feet tall. We place them in a symmetrical fashion, like the solar lights, throughout the garden and light them when we are in the garden in the evening.

The torches help to keep bugs away from us in the garden. It seems that there’s always a few mosquitoes or sand flies and gnats around and I must have sweet blood because they love biting me!

So … if you use lighting in the garden what kind do you use and how do you use it?
