This easy table modification all started because we live in cow country and where you have cows, you have flies. They drive me crazy in the summer so I am always looking for ways to deter them. The other day I was at OSH and the sales lady said that most herbs are a natural fly repellent. That got me thinking and this project was born. Now the jury is still out if this works on the flies but I love the end results anyway.
Want to Replace Your Lawn? This New Garden Trend Is a Blast - Sunset Magazine

Part of a garden editor’s job is to always be on the lookout for new garden trends, and when not one, but four friends tell me they’re putting in bocce ball, my meter goes bing! “I love my bocce ball court,” says Julian Cautherley, a documentary film producer in Los Angeles (who also happens to be my daughter’s dad). “I put it in last fall, and it’s become the social center of my garden. Guests are just drawn to it—and it wasn’t expensive to put in, either.”

Garden designers have noticed the trend, too. June Scott of June Scott Design in Pasadena says that she started noticing more requests for bocce ball courts as people became increasingly concerned about the drought and wanted to replace their lawns. “They’re a good way to add a significant element that does not need to be irrigated and is water-permeable,” Scott says. And, of course, its size helps replace a thirsty lawn. And while some people might think of bocce ball as an old person’s sport, it’s anything but. “In terms of who’s asking for them, we’re seeing a range from empty nesters who want something that will appeal to their kids and grandkids, to singles who want to socialize with friends,” she says.
For those who’ve never played, bocce ball is an ancient game from 5200 B.C. that happens to be the third most popular sport in the world. One of the game’s advantages is that people old and young can get in on the action, plus there’s just something elegant and relaxing about playing. (This might be why bocce even has its own cocktail.) It’s also easy to learn. Players roll resin balls down a long rectangular court while trying to get closest to the target ball, a pallino, to score points. The person with the highest score

Garden Fashion
If there’s one thing that gets my goat, its, what’s in and what’s out in gardening. Now honestly I don’t want to alienate myself, of course everyone’s entitled to an opinion but don’t you sometimes think there is a bit of inverted snobbery going on. I have always loved gardens and gardening, I like the subtle garden with foliage of different hues and perhaps white flowers giving that relaxed feeling. I am mad about the Summer mixed perennial borders which give that great to be alive feeling. The Rose borders are charming, the Scottish Heather borders can look great. Here’s the crunch, I absolutely also love the in your face loud, brash, garish front gardens which are packed with blindingly bright Summer bedding, makes me smile, makes me laugh. Picture of our front garden, I promise it was once more packed when the flower borders were wider than this. Whats not to like.
