Make Your Own Terrarium.

Hello!

You may remember in a recent post of mine where I featured Urban Outfitters Grow collection that I featured the cutie Make Your Own Terrarium kits.

Last week UO had a 25% discount code over the weekend which I took full advantage of and bought myself this little beaut:

Make Your Own Terrarium - Deer.

Here is what you get in your mason jar:

Pebbles, moss, a flower, a mushroom and a plastic deer.

You have to add your own plant and soil. I was going to add a cute plant however I know that I don't get much sunlight in my flat so had to have a low maintenance plant and what better than a cactus?! (p.s you can check out my cacti collection here...)

Then it was just a case of arranging the props, here is the finished thing:

He is so cute there! I adore the tiny mushroom it's perfect.
I've place my first terrarium proudly on my living room table with my other cacti and miscellaneous items.

Hope you are having a great week! I've been a little under the weather but a few days of rest and I should be ok again :)

Getting Ready For...Spring?!

Autumn is a very important time to get prepared for Spring/Summer - no, not for fashion but gardening!

Planting bulbs in October-November is a great time for them to settle in and by the time Spring rolls around again they should start to grow and bloom.

Now I have a lovely garden full of places to plant some flowers (and possibly fruit and veg) I thought I had better get prepared! Although it's already thriving with amazing herbs, foliage and flowers I have two empty spots for more growing to happen! So with the help of The Urban Gardening Guide - I have done just that! 

I picked up 3 different packs of bulbs for £1 each and using this huge bag of Miracle Gro Expand n' Gro (it feeds them for 6 months!!) and my marigolds - I got planting.
Of course Prince wanted to help too!

Pot 1. I planted all 3 of the different types of bulb in here but only a couple of each so they have enough room to survive.

Pot 2. This is clearly alot longer so I planted the rest in here. As you can see I have a loads of plants growing already!
(How cute is Prince looking at the birds?!)

Autumn is so beautiful I thought I would share some of my favorite parts of the garden at the moment:

Its FINALLY Friday and I can't wait to relax with 2 days off :)

Have a good one pals!
