Gardening challenges can be fun IF you look at any sort of small success as a good thing. Okay, tumble weeds. Martha Stewart would glue small, silk flowers into the tumble weed to make them a “good thing”. LOL! At Christmas, she would use small, white lights in them to create a warm, holiday feel. LOL! You are doing so well with your garden. Good luck!
Thank you for those decorating tips!!!! Will Christmas never come?
Tender young tumble weed was included in the diet of Indians, and wandering souls out here. Real tasty with a delicate Hollindase sauce...so I’ve heard!
Happy weekend!
Martha Stewart is late to the party. I used to make Christmas trees out of tumbleweeds when I was in Jr. High. (And I hate to tell you how long ago that was.) I’d find 3 in graduated sizes, get my father to spray paint them white, pile them up and decorate them with cotton balls and home made, paper decorations. Free Christmas tree, instantly. My Home Room thought that was so neat that they took up a collection the following year to buy a “real” tree at a tree lot. LOL
Speaking of tumbleweed. We were stationed in FL and one Christmas a friend of ours brought back tumbleweed for what reason, who knows? My neighbor and I stuck them together, then sprayed the bushes with glue, made an 8 foot tree and stuck lights inside (that was the hard part) and placed it on a bed or sword palm leaves. It looked pretty good day and night.
