    I’m really loving the extra projects at Monica’s and Alicia’s. It’s inspiring to see what can be done with smaller spaces! And I love seeing the sisters together. It warmed my heart when Monica said, “it’s just gorgeous!” Thanks Laura for taking us along and for being a great sister!

      @ronareid7956 ปีที่แล้ว

      @@jerriecook6908 Cayenne pepper keeps the squirrels from "stealing" the birdseed. Squirrels cannot bear hot pepper of any kind but birds are not bothered by it. My friend is overjoyed to see happy birds visiting her garden, and repelling squirrels at the same time is an extra bonus!

    This space is coming along so beautifully! It's great to see what can be done in smaller yards and how many usable areas there are. I had talked to Monica while at Andrew's about her space, and she was so excited to see it come together, and I told her I was just excited for her as well and to see the final result. You two make a wonderful team. 💚💗💚

    Can’t tell you how much I can relate to this video! My husband and I built our home on 1 acre of cleared farm land, a soy bean field, 33 years ago. At the first party we had, someone asked who was supposed to bring the shade? Just this week, I have been working on a DIY slate and gravel patio with a fire pit near our back deck. Although we do have mature trees now, they are mostly on the perimeter of the yard. My husband set up the 12x12 pop up tent to give me shade, too. 😜

    If Monica wants to keep the copper caps the copper color, she will need to paint them with polyurathane. We found this out with the top of our new mailbox post. It tarnished fairly quickly, so we replaced it and sprayed it with poly. Voila! It is still the copper color. BTW... Monica's new raised beds are gorgeous!! Great job ladies.
