Either way, this is one of my favourite wreath crafts so far!.

Well, we’re going to be leaving it down for 2-3 years.This is because the weeds need a chance to go through their life cycles and use up all the stored energy they have in their roots.

And our weeds have some big roots.One type of weed that we have, I think it’s called Hedgewood Bindweed, is supposed to take about 8 months to use up all the energy it has stored, but the recommended smotheration time is about 3 years to be sure..So that’s the plan of attack.

I’m feeling pretty good about it.Meanwhile, we’re still having a heck of a time keeping up with the weeds in the other half.. For the record, even with all of my weed killing strategies this year, I’m still kind of a wild flower/weed lover at heart.. I’m a little bit tempted to one day just let the whole property go au naturel and see what happens.

Look at these pretty pinky flowers that popped up!.

OK, we do have some actual veggies growing this year, but only very few so far.. One success is the pumpkins.If you kids are young, you can help them with this, but if they’re older it’s fun to let them do it themselves.. That’s really all it takes and now you’ve got some fun garden markers to use in all your gardening adventures!.

Best of all, it’s quick and easy, and doesn’t require a lot of planning on your part.A perfect craft to do one afternoon when you don’t know what to do with yourselves!.I’ve always thought that twine was one of the best and most useful crafting supplies that any DIYer can have.

Adding a little twine to any project always seems to give it so much character and can look beachy, or rustic, or modern, or cottagey, depending on how you use it.I keep quite a few rolls around the house and always stock up when I’m in a dollar store.
