Reminds me that my readers are so diverse and pretty dang awesome. So keep those questions coming and I’ll keep racking my brain for answers. As always, please pipe up if you have any input or are knowledgeable when it comes to any of the following questions:

I love container gardening! I’ve blogged about container gardening a number of times, but this post on Tips for Container Gardening might be the best place to start. As far as plants that do well in containers, there are tons of choices. Botanical Interests has a pretty awesome “set” you can buy of seeds that are specifically for small space or container gardening. It’s called Container Vegetable Seed Collection {it includes carrots, cucumbers, kale, lettuce, onion/scallions, sweet peppers, spinach, and tomatoes}, which is a pretty well rounded garden, if you ask me.

That ice cream really is so delicious! Not sure why the link wasn’t working for you, but I checked to make sure it’s still live, so you should be good to go. Here is the Old Fashioned Strawberry Ice Cream recipe. Enjoy! {And happiest of birthdays to your little one!}

Some fresh bark, some cheap flowers and a rock border. Seriously, you can’t go wrong there. The obvious things like weeding and mowing are a must, but all you have to do is cordon off some areas with a nice rock border {free if you can find spare rocks}, plant some cheap flowers {the more the merrier. And you can normally find them on sale this time of year!}, and cover with bark or landscape rocks! Flowers make EVERYTHING more beautiful, and a yard full of them is sure to turn heads!
~Thanks, Jenny
You actually can! All those old, broken crayons can be repurposed! You’ll need a wick and empty votive jars, but basically you just peel off the paper, melt, pour and let sit. Easy peasy. I found a great crayon candle tutorial here.
Have a question for me? Submit them HERE and I’ll try to answer them.

Mavis-
I think Ashley was looking for the vanilla bean ice cream recipe. That page gives an error.

A tip for the yard upgrade–those plastic pots that getting looking ugly after a while…I’ve spray painted them whatever color matches the outdoor decor and it makes everything look fresh and new.

Oh we LOVED Shetland! Just finished binge watching it!!! Some other ones you might enjoy are “Trapped” on Viceland channel and “Hinterland”. “Broadchurch” is another good one -they are all like Shetland.
