Your Questions About Gardening

Lizzie asks…

Do you need a home and garden gift?

Here is a list of home and garden products that are marked down, some by 60%. http://www.gardenharvestsupply.com/specials/

GardenersCardiff answers:

The honey bears remind me of grandma’s kitchen.

Ruth asks…

Appropriate Monetary Wedding Gift??

I’m attending a wedding tomorrow night with my family (there will be four of us). The bride is my best friend’s sister and the groom I hardly know. The couple lived in Seattle and now Kentucky, but the wedding is being held in Michigan where the bride grew up. What is an appropriate wedding gift to give if we hardly (if ever) see the couple?? It’s my best friend’s sister; however, even when she lived in Michigan, we rarely saw her. The wedding is being held outside in the garden of a banquet center and the reception is in the banquet center. Food is buffet style and I know they didn’t spend a ton of money on cake/favors. Any suggestions would be great! (But please no whatever you can afford!)

GardenersCardiff answers:

I don’t like it when people base the gift money on what the couple serves at the wedding. Not a good way to judge what you should give in return.

You should base it on how close you are to the couple, and what your relationship is to them. You don’t talk to them too often, so you probably don’t need to go all out, but the bride is your best friend’s sister, so you shouldn’t be skimpy, either.

I would say anything from the $50-$75 range would be acceptable.

Also, does the couple have a gift registry? If so, you really should find out where it is and stick to that. Money is great and all, but they would probably want something from their registry instead. Or maybe something more thoughtful if that’s not an option. Something like movie tickets and a dinner gift certificate would be really cute, and probably wouldn’t cost you that much. Kind of like a “Your first date as a married couple is on us.” Very unique, thoughtful without putting too much effort into it, and everyone’s happy … And you come across as awesome.

Jenny asks…

gift for the gardening, composting dad?

im trying to figure out a fathers day gift for my dad, and i would like to make it myself. whats a good gift for my dad who loves his compost bin & vegetable garden?

GardenersCardiff answers:

Twirly things are cool. Like, spin in the wind toys. Pretty but also can scare away certain pests like fruit or worm eating eating birds.

Like this:
http://www.wikihow.com/Make-a-Pinwheel

plastic is cool of course, or laminated but paper would let you print images off the net. I do Like the solid colors they show in that how2 but just saying since it is father’s day like if u know how to print up pix of yourself and family.

If u make the blades rounded instead of pointy and color it right it will look like a flower. But also i have seen some that managed to make the center round somehow. Adding a disk or just cutting it right. If u add spacer between disk and part that spins then face can stand still while petals spin.

Other famous one for dads is the tshirt. U can write or tiedye with bleach. Or dye with koolaid. And also u got the transfers but that is cash, like $8 for ten sheets? But i mean the paper u can iron onto a shirt; u print a picture on the paper first by using the regular computer printer, so u can use family pix or personal art.

Then of course a card. Or ‘coupons’. Like for one weed picking session or one car washing, one hug, one movie together, etc. It varies on what u think he needs and what u like plus if u want to just make nice ones or ones that will mostly be budgeting time spent together.

Cards u can make online and print out besides all the other ways. Some sites are better than others:
http://search.yahoo.com/search;_ylt=A0oGkkW9zDpK8i4AwYRXNyoA?p=custom+printable+father%27s+day+card&fr=b1ie7&fr2=sb-top&sao=1

a funny thing online is making your own magazine cover. Like gardening dad of the year or whatnot:
http://search.yahoo.com/search;_ylt=A0oGkkEw0DpKwfIAvgRXNyoA?p=make+magazine++cover+-.makezine.com&y=Search&fr=b1ie7&fr2=sb-top&sao=1

idk if ur dad is online but here in a good link to email him:
http://www.geocities.com/missbanji/seedswapping.html

^to seed swap boards, usually can get for SASE if u have none to trade. Dont go to daves cause its a pay place. Check for level of activity b4 u sign to any tho. Some are relatively inactive.

Also, even if he is not online, lots of dads like to read. Online u can find him neat texts to share and keep him up to date. Maybe try searching with your area plus the words “soil survey” for texts he would find fundamental. Also, if he likes to try growing new things it is easy to get very important but obscure details online. Here is how to find local or cultivation info…

Well, i’m going to link u to two threads actually, one about how to find info but the other about making your own fertilizer because it is relatively new and bears heavily on compost tech:

so here they are:
