The Flower Bed

By Donna M. Stilt

Thank you for reading The Flower Bed column! Any questions or comments are appreciated!

Are you tired of paying outrageous prices for landscaping? Well, now you can do it yourself, and a lot cheaper.

Start by first deciding what plants or flowers you would like to have this summer Next, get some of those old egg cartons Cut off the lid and put it under the bottom of the egg carton for excess drainage. Also, get a small bag of soil to fill the cups where you will put m your seeds.

Then get yourself a little heat lamp... this will replace the sunlight for the moment (don't get your heat lamp too close to the plant since the heat could burn your plant) Set it off in another room and be sure to water it on a daily basis.

By the time summer gets here, you will have a jump start on things. This way, you -won't get overwhelmed in the Summer!
