So pretty and unique!Here are a few more of my favorite gardening hints & tips I have picked up along the way:*  Easy Read Rain GaugeAdd a few drops of food coloring to the bottom of your rain gauge. Next time it rains it will be easy to read when mixed with the bright coloring:garden rain gauge

*  Line Pots with Coffee FiltersThis is a great idea for inside plants also! Line the bottom of your flower pots with a coffee filter. The filter will allow water to drain out and keep the messy dirt inside the pot. garden coffee filter

*  Create a no-stick shovelSpray your favorite shovel and garden tools with a silicone or Teflon lubricant so that the dirt slides right off.  My husband sprays his weed-wacker  string with spray butter or WD40 when installing string. He says it works like a dream!garden shovel spray
