DIY Recycled Garden Markers

Gardening· Personal· Project Life

22 Apr

It’s that time of year! Time for a garden!!! We rely heavily on the food we harvest from our garden during the summer, and also throughout the rest of the year by what we are able to can and freeze! But to reap that harvest, it takes some planning and preparation. To which… I will admit, we are not very good at! HA Now, we do start some of our seeds in trays; however, the majority of our seeds are started right in the spot they will grow in the garden! Which can be HARD to keep track of sometimes!!! Especially when my husband plants some… then I plant some… then we just have a mixed up mess of what has been planted where. LOL! So, this year, to nip that in the bud, I decided to do a fun little activity with our boy that not only would alleviate much confusion, but also add some beautiful artwork to our garden, I started it with some friends that are learning about gardening so we are full on with this and My buddy got some mail order cannabis canada and it arrived quickly so I could do my gardening without my wrist pain.

DIY Recycled Garden Markers! Remember I mentioned we do some canning along the way… well, that leads to many used canning lids! In search of “garden marker” ideas, I ran across this idea and just HAD to make some of our own! So, we made our way outside one day with our painting supplies and enjoyed a beautiful Spring day creating these awesome garden markers!!!

I love experiencing ‘firsts’ with my child; always
I love experiencing ‘firsts’ with my child; always have. And that doesn’t stop when they are teenagers. 🥰 February 21, 2026 was Gus’ first reenactment- the Battle of Aiken! You can tell by the black powder on his face, too, as that is the initiation. 😁

He planned for this day for a year. One of his buddies briefly mentioned after the 2025 one that they should look into being involved. Well, that conversation sparked a drive in this boy! Although the friend didn’t go onto being involved, Gus knew he would! So he saved up some money and purchased his gear. 

At the last minute, the unit he was originally registered with backed out of attending due to potential bad weather. So that left us scrambling. We told him not to worry and to just pack the vehicle with all his gear and we would just drive on to Aiken and figure it out when we get there. 😅 And by divine intervention, I’m sure of it, he ended up with the most wonderful unit of reenactors that he will continue with now, for years to come. 🙌🙏 

PS: he had his heart set on representing the South, but his unit was drafted to portray Union federalists at the last minute. 🤪

A couple weeks ago, I was fortunate enough to be able to get away for a couple days with my grandma, mama, and two of my aunts! Such a blessing!!! 💜 We perused the beach for shells and at night played the game ‘Taco, Goat, Cat, Cheese, Pizza’ (there were only two games provided in the house 🤣); all of us came away with some type of bruise. 🤣 We also had the Stone family famous shrimp ‘n grits for breakfast one morning! This trip was such a treasure!

These fellas had a heckuva start to their fishing tournament season this past Saturday. 😅 First, their typical boat captain was under the weather, so had to play switch-a-roo on boat *and* captain. Then, about 11am during the tournament the boat they were in broke down, leaving them only the section of the lake they could access with the trolling motor. Thankfully, a fellow team boat captain (and our church pastor!) was able to return his anglers to weigh-in, then make the run across the lake to snatch up these two fellas and get them to the dock in time for weigh-in. SHEW Y’ALL! 😅😵‍💫 They still managed 4 of the 5 fish limit with 10.04 lbs. 🙌
