Today's Featured PostRooting Strawberry Runners In Pudding Cups
By likekinds
Several people have posted a tip on ThriftyFun suggesting the use of pudding cups for starting seeds and cuttings. My opinion was that they were too small to allow adequate root formation prior to transplanting.

I found 2 lanterns in great shape at a thrift store for pennies! I wanted to transform these beauties into something other than lighting - planters! Although you find a lot of them are in black, I will transform them into a softer look.

After exams, I glanced out the window to look for positivity and I found these vendors selling beautiful flowers. The flowers are not easily seen unless the picture is zoomed in. However, that's how we must look at life, even if we are surrounded with negativity, we need to zoom in for us to see the positivity it brings.

Recycle Cardboard for Starting Seeds
By Sonja Maness D.
I discovered that empty toilet paper rolls fit perfectly in the cardboard drink trays from fast food restaurants. Just put the toilet paper rolls into the drink tray, fill them with soil and plant your seed.

Feverfew is a lovely perennial herb that has white, daisy-like flowers with yellow centers and soft, light green serrated leaves. Plants grow from 9 to 24 inches high and produce single or double flowers for most of the summer and early fall. Feverfew is useful for planting between stones or pavers on walkways and paths.

By EllenB
For many species of butterflies, flower nectar is the favorite entrée on the menu. If you want to take your butterfly garden to the next level, try adding a small feeding station that offers them rotting fruit.

This Week's QuestionsMaking a Long Arm Squirrel Proof Bird FeederI would like to make a long arm bird feeder hanger from PVC pipe. First off, is the pipe strong enough to hold a feeder if it's reinforced somehow? Second, how do you make one? I have a bracket from the side of the window on the house, but it doesn't go out far enough and the squirrels can still jump from a small roof to the feeder. I want it to go farther out in front of the window so it is impossible for any squirrels or other critters to get the feeder.When Should Burning Bush Shrubs Leaf Out in Spring?I received some bare root burning bush hedge plants, about 25 of them. I planted them in the fall last year, in October. They started showing leaves and signs of growth after just a couple weeks. Then as winter came they lost all the leaves and the stems went from green to red. Now they are not showing any signs of growth however if I scratch the stem it is still showing green under the bark.Identifying a HouseplantIdentifying Insect EggsPlanting Grass in a Dog RunWe've lived in our home for 3 years now. We had a 20x40ft dog run, recently reduced to a 10x40ft run. After this last winter and now that the snow has melted, we have quite the mess of dirt and poop sludge. Yuck! What do I have to do to replant and bring some grass back to that area? Will grass even grow after all that poop? If so, what should I plant?Mallard Duck Made a Nest in My Front Flower BedLast year we had a mallard duck that laid eggs and sat on them for a couple of weeks. After she did not sit on them for a few days, we discovered 2 eggs left in the nest, but the rest were gone. There were no egg shells like something had taken them out of the nest. The two remaining eggs did not hatch.ThriftyFun Contests!This newsletter is powered by you! Below are the active contests on ThriftyFun...
