15+ DIY outdoor garden ideas

What’s one of the most common arguments spouses have?  I’ll tell you one thing I’m constantly on top of my hubby about is our lawn.  We live on 1 1/2 acres.  Of grass.  A lot of grass.  Which is a ton to keep up with.  I get it…I was raised in the house next door with 2  1/2 acres.  And guess what MY weekly job was?-mowing.  As a teen I didn’t mind it much because we had a fun riding lawn mower.  I’d hook my walkman up….

Like, totally rad (;  I would put on a tank, hook up my latest punk CD and mow mow and mow some more.  Then I would bust out the weed whacker and clean up the trees.  All 25 of them.  And then I’d blow the driveway off.  And don’t forget to bag up the grass and feed it to the cows.

And I had to complete all this before I could go hang out with my friends for the weekend.

Present day: my son mows and I get to work on making the garden cute!

  1. The toadstools look truly enchanting – my daughter and I are looking to create a little fairy garden and we are searching for ways to make it from scratch and one of the ideas we came up with was finding scraps and salvage material at flea markets. I must say it is quite a task but I have already found parts and some small sculptures to add to the look. Thanks for sharing all these amazing pictures – I especially like the one with the red boot plantings!

  2. Hello,
    Quick Question~ I made the tic tac toe for a fun garden I am working on and used a stump- wondering if I should treat the stump or stain it- it is for outdoor but I would love it to last.
    Thanks and stay well!

  3. I used to love my walkman! Ah the good ‘ol days! : – ) Cute projects! Off to check out this Task Easy business!
