eduKayt's Tip of the Day 6/16/10: Shady Flowers

On a budget for dad's day this sunday? Get him some SHADY FUCKING FLOWERS! Some flowers LOVE the shade... so if you don't get a lot of direct sunlight, go pick up some of these:

1. Impatiens - You don't have to be too patient cause they grow fast if you water them every day.
2. Fuchsia - These are crazy bright looking flowers with all kinds of shit hanging from them.
3. Hosta - Mainly green, but some have lines of white on the edge of the leaves.

That should get you started! Give dad some quality time and plant these with him! Guess what quality time is..... FREE, aka NO BENJAMINS REQUIRED!

Then hop on over to the internet with your dad and vote repeatedly for me to eduKayt Oprah!

Consider yourself eduKayted.

eduKayt's Project of the Weekend 4/2/10: Pots & Plants

Happy fucking easter! This weekend we will be planting some flowers in your sexy outdoor space! Whether you have a huge yard or just a balcony, you can add some flowers to jazz it up.

1) Before you go shopping for plants, know how much sunlight your outdoor area gets. For example, if you get no direct sunlight, don't go buying roses! Impatiens are great for shady spaces.

2) Get down to your local store and buy some pots, soil, and flowers.

3) For HUGE flowers, throw in some miracle grow. As I always say, go big or go home.

4) For all you delicate flowers, grab some gardening gloves so you don't fuck up your manicure.

5) Pick up a garden spade and start digging.

6) Follow the directions for your particular flower and make sure you dig enough space.

7) Put the plant in and fill the hole with the leftover soil.

8) Water once a day or according to directions. Some flowers need less, some more.

Throw in some easter lilies and consider yourself eduKayted.
