Make A Birthday Window Boxes

Window boxes are pretty and fun for the mother to keep.


It's not necessary to be considered a trained horticulturist to construct beautiful window boxes for any A Birthday gift. A window box that contains beautiful, flowers is really a A Birthday gift that continues giving with the seasons. Set your mom track of a window box project that you simply start and she or he can continue at her very own leisure all year round, and she'll always think about just how much you appreciate her.


Instructions


1. Take a look at some women's magazines -- for example Family Circle, Women's Day, Ladies' Home Journal, or Martha Stewart -- for many general ideas or palettes, or see your local plant plant centers and observe which plants/flowers they're pairing in window box shows.


2. Neat and prepare your window boxes, ensuring they've ample drainage and good planting soil. Plant stores sell niche mixes, for container gardens, or you have good soil of your, you are able to mix by using some peat moss for much better drainage.


3. Departing one inch approximately between your soil and the top box, begin adding plant/flower new plants of your liking. Choose some that trail lower yet others which are more upright and spikey. Choose different foliage colors -- from dark vegetables to blues/grays -- for additional interest. Test out colors from the blooms, in one year to another, so every A Birthday is really a surprise along with a new twist on the theme.
