I’m totally into instant gratification — if I can complete a garden project in an afternoon, I’m the happiest girl in the world. So how happy would you be if you could finish an awesome project in just about an hour or two? And what if I told you that it’s relatively inexpensive and you can use a lot of materials you already have on hand?

I know — you’re probably still knee-deep in snow, ice or other frigid weather and can’t possibly think about spring and summer flowers, right? Oh, that’s so wrong on so many levels. First, warm summer thoughts are the very thing that keep us from going stir-crazy in February, otherwise we wouldn’t bother to get out of bed most mornings.
