How to Make Your Own Seed Tape | Tutorial DIY

I've spent quite a lot of time lately cleaning up all my bookmarks. I ran across this site I've been saving forever and it's the perfect time to post this wonderful tutorial since summer's over and there are tons of seeds to be saved. This is the ultimate recycling project that looks like a lot of fun.

"The intent of seed tape is to make planting easier when you have teeny tiny seeds that need to be planted just inches apart (like carrots and radishes). But it’s also fun for gifting flower seeds or giving away seeds you’ve collected from your own garden. And it’s a pretty simple and very kid-friendly project." How to Make Your Own Seed Tape

Don't forget this little seed planting rhyme:
"One for the fox, one for the crow, one to rot, and one to grow."

Cold and Rainy Today

It's cold and rainy here at the Cottage today. I have to go out later but not before I locate my Irish fisherman knit sweater. Brrrr. I hope you are nice and cozy at your house. It is supposed to be hot again next week. I miss summer already. The photo above is from last year. My geraniums still have flowers but not this many. I've been neglecting them lately. I'll be bringing them inside for the winter all too soon.

Saturday Night Moonlight Swim

I was just about to turn off the computer when I came across this photo on Pixdaus and had to share. I guess the mother swan is trying to tire out the little ones so they will sleep through the night. Goodnight all. See you tomorrow. via

Does anyone know if there is a template for making these paper flowers? I love them. The appear to be one piece. I guess you must score them towards the center to make them take on the form of a flower. Help, please. Leave a comment if you know how these are made. [image source]
