Glass Watering Sphere

  My friend Rebecca of Cacai's Step and Journey, Cacai M.'s Place and Thoughts, Ideas and Resources gave me few things that were incredibly beautiful a week before my birthday. One of those things is a glass watering sphere. This is really a very nice gift most especially that I have many flowering pots. I may not be able to use it in all the plants but I will surely be able to use it in one pot especially the one that dried out quickly like my eggplant which is planted in a pot. Actually I have 5 eggplants and three of those eggplants are planted in the pots and the other 2 are in the ground.

How to use the Glass watering Sphere: (Do not insert the watering sphere into the soil without making a hole because it might break the shaft. You can use a small stick or a garden tool in making the hole)

*   Fill the bulb with 95% water

*   Insert the shaft of the Glass Watering Sphere into the created hole in the soil holding the bulb at a slight angle to pass the air. Push the bulb firmly into the soil in order to help the the sphere not to fall.

How the Glass Watering Sphere works:

As the soil starts getting dry, it releases oxygen into the bulb, which in turn releases the exact amount of water that plant needs. 

Large plants may need more than one Glass Watering Sphere for proper watering while smaller plants may need only one sphere. 

Thanks Beck for this wonderful gift..

I Love Cooking With Food Network

This was written by guest blogger Casey Rhodea 

     While talking with a girlfriend the other day she asked me a million dollar question, "What Is Your Favorite Channel on Satellite TV?". Wow, I had to think about that as I do love to watch my TV. So I would say that the Food Network is my favorite channel on satellite TV as there are many different shows that I love to watch. The love that flows between the Neely's while they prepare their most loved barbecue dishes , Paula Deen with her strong Southern accent and her love for butter and fried foods. The Iron Chef keeps you in suspense to see what the secret ingredient is going to be and what unusual items will be made. How about Sandra Lee and her money saving meals? Everybody's favorite gal Rachel Ray shows us how to make a meal in 30 Minutes. Every type of food can be found to suite everyone's taste buds from your Gourmet Chef, Mexican, Italian, to your down home cooking. So yes, I love the Food Network. Where else could you learn how to cook a 30 Minute Meal with 5 Ingredients or Less while on a budget and still trying to cook like the Iron Chef?
