Elsewhere Online: Grow a Succulent Window Box

It is always great to see how gardeners can succeed despite the largest of hardships. Fire escapes, stoops and kitchen windows are turned into makeshift gardens whenever and wherever possible. ReadyMade magazine offers up this short piece on creating a window box full of succulents to brighten your urban day.

Growing succulents in the windowbox on the fire escape portion of my rooftop garden has become a tradition -- most likely because they are just about the only plants that can survive the intense sun, heat, and drought.

Elsewhere Online: The Simplest Bench in the World

I came across this garden bench project in an older issue of Backyard Living Magazine.

It does indeed look very simple to build and would make a nice addition to a rustic woodland garden.
