Put Those Tomato Cages to Work!

Just a quick and silly little post. These Christmas trees are made from tomato cages turned upside down. Use tent stakes to keep the base in-place and then a zip tie works to tie the “tree top” together.

Wrap the cages in tinsel garland for a daytime look and add LED lights for the night. I added cedar garland to fill out the base of the “trees” and decorate the pot. So easy.

Oh, and we’re in Seahawks country, so this IS Christmas colors. Woo! Go Hawks.

Garden Gift Giving

As Christmas sneaks it’s way up on us, don’t forget. We have a charming little brick and mortar store overflowing with gifts for garden and nature lovers. Here’s a peak:

Crabapple and Quince. Yummy preserves hand made from Orcas Island.
