  • A Hidden Oasis in Little Tokyo – October 1, 2010 – This looks like a nice place to visit. I wish I had know about it when I was downtown for jury duty. I think I will meet up with my friends Liam and Rachel who live near downtown and visit and then grab a bowl of ramen in nearby Little Tokyo.

After some animal gnawed a large hole in one of my soaker hoses, I fixed it — on the cheap. This same method works for typical garden hoses, too.

Bag O’ Daffodils

Bag O’Daffodils, originally uploaded by dewelch.

i must admit, I was tempted by these yesterday when I was at the hardware store. I have a lovely collection of naturalized daffodils in the garden, but this would take it to a whole new level!”

I also can’t quite imagine planting all of these. I would have to do it a few at a time, I think.

Still they would look very pretty in a few months…..hmmmmm.

Elsewhere Online: Gutter Gardens

Gutter Gardens

I am always looking for great ideas for the garden and this one showed up in my RSS feeds a few days ago. What a great way of making use of those small, yet sunny, area of the garden. I even have an unused piece of gutter lying around that I just might put to use. Ideas like this give even apartment dwellers some interesting possibilities. Not everyone needs to have an expansive, 1/2 acre garden to grow some of their own food or flowers.

  • Vise-Grip Locking Wrench – August 10, 2010 – These look really good. As the owner of a 1943 home, I often find bolts that have been in place, waaaaaaay to long. These pliers would go a long way to help move forward on some projects.
