I just need the flower tops to lay on the table with starfish.
you can't do it at home and it takes 4 weeks plus 2 days for the process to be completed properly. This site also has the information you need to dry plants in other ways so check it out. Your best and less costly bet would be to purchase some fabric lillies if possible.

I bought a parasol and stuck it in my garden table. It seems to cast a shadow but about 2 feet away from the table. Do you sometimes need to shorten the damn things or what?
I figured it would be the right size as if I lower it too much it'll hit everyone in the head!!
Some have a tilt facility,but i assume yours does'nt,you could shorten it but as you say,be careful, you can't glue it back on!!!.Alternatively,you could dig a hole below the pole and experiment with the depth,until happy,then make it permanent.

I've only just brought this set from Robert Dyas (UK), haven't used it, need a pvc type cover for it. However, will it be too late to take of this hardwood, now its been wet or can i still treat it & cover it when the weather is dry!! Typical british weather!
what i meant to say will it be harder to take care of this type of hardwood now its been soaking wet
Your furniture will be fine, cover it over as soon as possible so it doesn't get any wetter, if you can move it into a garage or shed and let it dry slowly (If it dries too quickly you may get small cracks). Once it has dried out makes sure the wood is clean by rubbing down with wire wool and white spirit, then give it a couple of coats of teak oil. This will bring back its colour and help keep it waterproof in future. You will need to reapply the teak oil every year (Autumn) or twice a year if left out in the winter (Spring and Autumn)...

A pesky pigeon is frequently visiting my garden and bird table and gobbling up all the food ! Any ideas on how to deter it ? Thanks.
I really have heard it all now. How do I keep birds off my birdtable. Don't be so damn ridiculous.
and have a variety of species coming for a variety of foods. It's great to see the young birds coming and eating from the table too. The problem - ( a well, some of you wont see this as a problem), is that now I have Buzzard preying on the birds at my feeder. The question is - am I interfering with nature, attracting so many birds to one area, creating a honeypot for the buzzard, or do I accept that the buzzard has to live too and by feeding garden birds, I am helping their survival.
I really am in a dilema here and wonder what I should do for the best. Interested in your views on this, thanks.
i didn't see any problem anywhere.. what i know is you are a very generous and kind-hearted person.. while some people prefer to kill birds, your love to birds is so amazing.. you feed them.. it makes us feel really good right..

It was at Sedona Verde Valley Spring Planting festival while learning about permaculture, that I was offered a few garden plots in the Crescent Moon community garden. With my already overbooked teaching schedule, I thanked the director of the community garden and dismissed it as impractical.
It took me a couple of days of reflection to recognize this was the opportunity to integrate my passions and make the garden and growing food part of my curriculum. I run yoga teacher training programs and have students for about 33 days. It is an intense immersion into yoga not just to create teachers but to experience yoga and ayurveda as a spiritual lifestyle. We have an Ayurvedic kitchen and find that the teaching of food as medicine is the most practical application of ayurveda for yoga practitioners.
...From the Garden to the Table: Mandan Bride Corn Bread « Autonomy Acres
It is exciting to write an article in February that is about eating food from the garden. As much as I am craving a fresh tomato or raspberries, this is just as cool. Last summer we grew an heirloom flour corn named Mandan Bride. It was originally grown by the Mandan Indians of North Dakota and performed excellent for us. Our stand of corn was only about 40 square feet or so, and we ended up harvesting about three and a half quarts of cleaned kernels. We processed them all by hand and we were very surprised with the success of the harvest.One difference between flour corn and what most people know as sweet corn is that sweet corn is eaten fresh, and flour corn is allowed to dry right on the plant. Harvesting can be tricky if it is a wet year, but that was not a problem for us last year. Along with the corn, we also interplant beans and usually squash. This is known as the three sisters, a traditional Native American gardening technique that maximizes space. The corn is usually planted in mounds, the beans climb up the corn, and the squash grows between the mounds of corn. We will discuss more of the gardening in future posts. Now onto cornmeal and baking.
