Here are some great gardening tips, happy growing!
After you plant, don’t stick those unattractive labels into your garden to mark your seeds. Instead paint labels on smooth rocks. Check out this picture below from lubirdbaby.com. Rocks blend naturally into the surroundings, and best of all they won’t blow away!

Yesterday our Advertising Department celebrated Cinco de Mayo in style. Check out all the fun they had in their pre-holiday celebration.
Cinco de Mayo is just around the corner so we are exploring some unique topping ideas for tacos. Everyone knows the taco staples; meat, lettuce, tomatoes, sours cream, guacamole, onions, cheese, salsa. However there are some great additional toppings that add delicious flavor. (ref. hr2033.org)
• Shallots – these mild green onions are a great option so those who like onions can get the flavor without having to cook it into the meat
• Lime Juice – fresh or bottled, a squeeze of lime juice adds a refreshing flavor
• Garlic – Just fry up a few cloves and allow each person to add as they please. Alternately you can have garlic powder available for a quick dash of flavor.
• Cilantro – try fresh cut into small pieces and sprinkled on top
• Barbeque Sauce – BBQ sauce is a flavorful alternative to salsa for those who can’t take the heat

Jewelry is one of the most versatile accessories in fashion. However sometimes it is tough to execute a new trend on a tight budget. Other times it’s just fun to have a great piece of jewelry to fancy up a plain ensemble. Today we are highlighting the cute trend of adding a colorful statement piece of jewelry to your outfit. The best part of this trend is it can transform boring into special or can take a day look to night.
Does your garden glow…literally? Gardeners spend so much time making a plot of dirt into a beautiful horticultural oasis, though once the sun goes down, it becomes veiled by darkness. The proper accent lighting can fix this problem and actually add a dynamic layer to your garden. The most obvious purpose of lighting is to allow friends and family the chance to enjoy the garden after dark. However lighting can also create a brand new atmosphere when the sun sets. Here are some unique options to light up your yard.
These lights add whimsy and fun.
