Paul asks…

What are some cheap and fun summer crafts for kids?

I’m the craft director this summer at a camp and I need ideas for easy 30 minute crafts to do. There are 3 different age groups; 3rd-5th grade, 6th-8th grade and then high school. The supplies would need to be simple, but still be entertaining. Any ideas would be a great help!

Lisa asks…

How do I start landscaping from scratch?

We just moved to a house that has nothing but grass. I what to plant bushes and flowers and 2 or 3 trees but I have no clue where to start! What are the easiest but stongest plants, flowers and trees for a beginner like me? Is there a certain time of season to plant? How do I know where to plant so they don’t get too much sun? How do I know how much water to give and what time of day to give it… Please help, your advice would be greatly appreciated!

GardenersCardiff answers:

Take a garden hose and edge out where and what you want your beds to look like ( i made mine a free flowing curve). Then dig the bed out and turn the soil over, rake it out. I put some compost and peat moss and raked that in as well. Plant your trees, flowers etc (grill the guy at homedepot) They also have a one year guarantee on trees and plants (save your reciepts). Lay out the flowers and trees while they are still in buckets (this will help you see what the bed is going to look like. Once you like the arrangement. Start planting. After, cover around the plants with landscape fabric, to prevent weeds from popping up and mulch it over! Easy and fairly cost effective, compared to professional help that is!

Robert asks…

What are some good, easy, quick summer dessert recipes?

I need something tasty and easy to make. A good dessert for the summer. I have a pretty good one that I will share if your interested.

You need:

Grahm cracker pie crust
2 cups of vanilla ice cream [blue bunny is the best]
lemonaid powder mix
cool whip [the whole tub of it]

Mix it all together and put it in the pie crust and let it freeze, it’s delicious.

GardenersCardiff answers:

In the summer my mom always made this dessert that everyone loved she would get a (clean) garden pot and put chocolate pudding, and gummy worms and gummy spiders… And then on top she would put crushed up oreos and set it in the fridge till it got really cold then she put fake flowers in it and a garden shovel is what you served yourself with… It was reallly good! Kids especially love it. And adults find it clever. It looks like your scooping your desert out of a muddy plant with worms and spiders…

Its very tasty!
