Learn how to grow gaura in your garden. Gaura plant care and growing is easy. This drought tolerant shrub thrives in well-drained soil and loves to bath in the day long sun. The gaura is a beautiful perennial plant that is easy to grow and with minimal care, it offers a long blooming period and colorful flowers that attract butterflies. Gaura Plant Care
USDA Zones— 5 – 10 Difficulty— Easy Other Names— Wandflower, Butterfly gaura, Whirling butterfly, Siskiyou pink The genus “Gaura” consists of about 20 species of plants. It is native to North America. Its fine erected foliage and irregularly shaped flowers make it attractive. You can vary the uses according to the species, low growing varieties (not more than 24 inches) are placed in borders or in rock gardens while the large shrub-like varieties are perfect for growing in the cluster behind low growing plants in flower beds. Two Popular VarietiesGaura Biennis (Biennial Gaura): A tall variety that can grow 3-6 feet high. The foliage is red when matured, it has hairy flowering stems and light pink or white colored flowers that turn into coral red in late summer and fall.Gaura Lindheimeri (White Gaura): A Texas native, tolerant to drought. It grows up to 5 feet tall, flowers appears from summer to fall.How to Grow GauraPropagation Gaura can be propagated from seeds.The seeds are available in local garden shops or can be bought online. Propagation by cuttings should be done in spring and late summer or by division in the fall. Planting Gaura Prepare the planting site by performing a deep plowing. Remove stones, debris, and weeds. This plant doesn’t transplant well, that’s why it is better to sow the seeds directly at the planting site, once all the dangers of frost are eliminated and the weather warms up. If you are planting a potted gaura plant, make sure to make a planting hole in soil– twice wide and of the same depth as it was planted in the previous pot. Place the plant in the hole and fill that with well-drained soil. If the soil is very heavy or poor prepare it by adding compost or well-rotted manure and coarse sand in smaller proportion. How to Grow Gaura in Pots Growing gaura in pots is possible. Choose the pot that is 12 inches deep and 10 inches wide to provide a sufficient space to the plant. Keep the pot in sunny spot and water it only when the top surface of soil dries out. Requirements for Growing Gaura
Position Planting position must be sunny, for prolific blooms exposure to at least 6 hours of sunlight is ideal. If the location is windy provide support to plants. Soil Gaura grows well in light and sandy soil. Due to its taproot, the soil must be deep and also little fertile. Water logging soil that is clay rich and cloaks the drainage hinders the development and must be avoided. Watering Growing gaura is easy. As it adapts well to the drought-like conditions due to the long taproot it has, infrequent and economical watering is recommended. Water it deeply but only when the top two inch of soil seems dry. Spacing The planting distance for low growing varieties is around 12 inches. For more shrub like large varieties, space the plants 15 inches apart from each other. Gaura Plant CareFertilizer Gaura doesn’t require additional fertilizer to bloom. It thrives in poor soil. Application of manure or compost during planting is sufficient. Even adding too much natural fertilizer can cause the plant to grow limply. Deadheading and Pruning Remove spent flower spikes as soon as they fade, cut the entire stalk to promote more blooms. Once the blooming period ends in late summer, trim the shrub slightly (3″) to refresh it. The plant will start to flower again in fall with more vigor. Overwintering Gaura plant care is if you live in the warmer region. During the winter, let the faded stems on site, they provide protection against the cold. It is also recommended to mulch around the roots to insulate them, especially if you live below USDA Zone 8. Diseases and Pests

Putting up a backyard fence isn’t a small project, but it’s one that can improve your time in your yard, make it safe for kids and pets, and increase your home’s value. So don’t just put up a plain old fence! Take it up a notch and make your home look more custom with our DIY backyard fancy fence ideas! Some of these are DIY projects to get you right on your way, some are just ideas you can adapt to your own yard. Details count in your garden as well as inside your home, so take the time to plan out a fence you will be proud to show off. You’re gonna build it anyway, right? Why not do it fancy! Our feature photo below, is from a homeowner from California on ‘Hometalk‘. They included a short tutorial on adding corrugated metal to their ordinary fence to “fancy” it up! Love this fence!
From ‘Dunn DIY’, this DIY modern mid century horizontal fence isn’t any more difficult to build than an ordinary fence, but has loads more style. You see these type of fences at upscale restaurants and boutique hotels, as well as high end homes. Full tutorial with lots of photos for building this fence.
  Want to fancy up your fence without swinging a hammer? Hang a painting on it! This idea comes to us from ‘Apartment Therapy‘. I would suggest a coat of exterior sealer to your canvas though! Make sure you also attach it well to stand up to weather and wind.
  From “Design Intervention Dairy’, this tutorial for Nicole Curtis’s (HGTV’s “Rehab Addict”) chain link fence cover up idea is one amazing way to fancy up the least fancy kind of fence there is! Scroll down a little on the page to find the tutorial. Before
After
  Another idea from ‘Design Intervention‘, this horizontal fence is similar to the one above, but uses some piping or chain link posts in place of some of the slats. The tutorial above could be modified to make something similar to this. This contemporary fence from ‘Houzz‘ is a great example of how artistic you can get with a simple material… wood. This is just a well thought out version of these other horizontal fencing tutorials. You can also hire a contractor to do a project like this, using this photo as reference for them. Love this look!
  ‘Apartment Therapy‘ has a great variant of those same modern horizontal fencing tutorials. This fence uses narrower slat near the top, but at the same spacing as the lower slats so you actually can see through the fence near the top. It makes it a lot more interesting as well.
  Our last idea is simply a reminder that what can really make a difference in a fancy fence is using high quality wood, such as IPE. This fence is a great example of what a difference it makes! Photo from ‘Eco Inventos‘.

The great outdoors and food just kinda go together, don’t they? Think camping, picnics, and of course, BBQ’s! So instead of schlepping all your food, dishes and cooking prep through the house over and over, how about making yourself an amazing outdoor kitchen or grilling station? The cook in your life will be out where the people are, and those who are helping with the prep won’t be stuck indoors. Ok, there is also that cool feeling of cooking outside. Don’t know what it is, it’s kind of a primal, survival deal. It just tastes better and feels oh so satisfying! So let’s do it! Tackle one of these DIY projects this weekend, and wait for the jealous ooo’s and ahhh’s from your guests!
Our feature project above, is a DIY outdoor serving center from ‘Build Something’. The tutorial has complete plans and cutting instructions. We love that this is made of cedar, and also the sliding top that can still be used as a counter when it’s open. And it’s a pretty piece of furniture too! Wanna have everything you need to grill at your fingertips? AND have room to set things while you are at the BBQ? This DIY rolling outdoor island has complete building plans and instructions, from Elisha at ‘Pneumatic Addict’. This one has it all, and it rolls out of the way when not in use too!
  This DIY grill station from Angela at ‘Unexpected Elegance’ is ah-mazing! Why? She not only made it practical, it’s pretty! She used stone veneer over a sheet metal frame that she created herself. A lot of value for a weekend project! Easy instructions with photos.
  This patio cooler stand from ‘Eddie and Steph‘ is a great idea, with a short little tutorial. A DIY’er with some projects under their belt could take this idea and make it amazing! There is nothing worse than having to go inside every 5 minutes for more drinks!
  Here is another idea straight from a Pinterest user… Using a dorm fridge to make an outdoor refrigerator in a really pretty box! (See similar project with plans at the end!)
  These DIY outdoor concrete countertops are kind of a two parter… The actual concrete counter how-to is from ‘Kara Paslay’, but you will find a general tutorial on making a countertop for outdoors at ‘HomeDit‘. This is a more permanent outdoor kitchen design that can add value to your home.
  From ‘Old World Garden Farms’ via ‘Hometalk’, this rustic outdoor summer kitchen is the perfect look for a farm style home. (Or one where you just want to add some rustic charm!) Photos and instructions. We are loving’ on that corrugated metal!
  Our last two are from one of our favorite woodworker sites, ‘Ana White’. This BBQ built in was uploaded by one of her readers, and unfortunately they did not share which of Ana’s free plans they used! (You can search on the site though!)
  This last one is a wooden cooler stand from ‘Ana White‘ done by ‘Birds and Soap, and this time, we found the tutorial to make this outdoor cooler project. Be sure to scroll down to find the drawings and plans. Which version would you make?

If it’s finally time for a new patio, or to redo the old one, there are lots of cool options other than just boring concrete! These 9 creative patio floor ideas can be done without a contractor, and can be done in weekend. All of them transform your space into an outdoor room worth showing off! It doesn’t matter if your patio surface has seen better days, or if you are just bored with it… try one of these projects. Our feature photo below, is from ‘Coates Design‘ in Seattle. These are simply oversized pavers laid in a bed of sand, then filled with decorative gravel.
If you would like to get a full tutorial on how to build a paver patio, then ‘Young House Love’ has it for you! Lot’s of pics, and good instruction that can be adapted for several different looks, including the more modern look above.
  Same technique, different material! This side yard patio features circular pavers of different sizes set in a random pattern. From ‘Mod Frugal‘.
  Don’t want to pay for all those pavers? Not a problem. We found this reusable plastic mold from ‘Quikrete‘ that allows you to create pavers (on sand, like above) with concrete mix and these molds.
  Want a more traditional “feels like it’s been here forever” look? Then learn how to build a brick patio from ‘HGTV’.
  Can you tell this technique we’ve been featuring so far is pretty much “the thing”? Here is another option for a Modern Mid-century look using these decorative concrete blocks laid on their sides. From ‘Fresh Digs‘.
  So if you already have a concrete patio, but you don’t want to have to tear it out (NOT fun and NOT a one day deal!) then you have options. ‘Home Depot’ shows us how to lay deck flooring over a concrete patio. Looks amazing! You have to jump on over and see the finished project.
  Want a modern, clean look? ‘Build Direct’ has these interlocking deck tiles that do the job, again, right over existing concrete!

  Lastly, you could use recycled Envirotile to recover your patio, from ‘Home Depot‘ They even have a tutorial on installing the tile for you!

Edging your lawn is more than just creating a mow strip, or keeping the weeds out. It sets off what can be the largest element in your yard and garden! Its kind of like trim around a door frame or baseboard moldings around a wall. It finishes it well. So adding a lawn edging could be just what your yard was missing. We’ve already covered creative garden edging, and then more creative garden edging here at TGG. This time we wanted to show you a little of the tried and true. These beautiful and classic lawn edging ideas are no fail ways to place the focus right where it belongs. Your outdoor space! Our feature project, above, is a brick lawn edging from ‘Lowes’.  Simple tutorial shows you how easy this edging choice really is. One of the most popular choices in suburban yards right now is concrete curbing. It keeps grass and weeds from easily growing under, and makes a good mow strip. ‘Bob Vila’ teaches us how to make concrete garden edging ourselves.
  Don’t want to do all that work? Lucky you, there are tons of concrete curbing services around to do it for you! Photo from ‘Millburn Landscape‘.
  This option from ‘Permaloc‘ is metal lawn edging. This reaches down under the soil line to prevent crabgrass and other weeds from “edging in”… :) You can install metal edging yourself, or have it done by a landscaper.
  A good tip from ‘Patiotown‘… All it takes is a single course of edging to make mowing around retaining walls so much easier!
  From ‘This Old House’, find out how to edge a garden bed with brick. Brick is tough, attractive and relatively cheap, which makes it a good edging material.
  From ‘Johnsen Landscapes‘, this idea on using a dry creek bed to edge your lawn is full of creative design. You can also jump on over to our post and find out more ways to make a dry creek bed.
  Find out more about how to make brick edging for your garden beds, from ‘Gardeen World’. You could use other building stones as well.
  From ‘Railway Sleepers’, this is an oldie… using railway ties to edge your garden. There has been some controversy about their safety however, so make sure you do your research about the creosote used in some railroad ties.
  There are also an amazing array of products out there that can make this easy for you. We are really liking these corner stone edgers from ‘Haddonstone‘. Those are a problem solver! They also have inside corners and curved stones.
Do you have any classic lawn edging ideas? Share in comments!

I don’t know about you, but given the choice, I would rather eat outside in my garden. It doesn’t matter if it’s a quiet breakfast with just me and the songbirds, or a big family get together, outside is better. But, I kinda hate my table. It’s glass, it’s not my style, and it doesn’t mesh with the outdoors well at all. So we found these DIY outdoor dining tables so that we can all find a way to eat al fresco just a little bit more, and still have a styling’ backyard. Sound good? Thought so! Let’s get to it so you can pick one and get started! Our feature project above, is from Christine at ‘Pinspiration Mommy’. She built this DIY large outdoor dining table herself for her 40th B’day! Ok, I like this girl. Great tutorial and plans for this table. Melissa (and her husband Randy!) at ‘The Happier Homemaker’ has this tutorial for their DIY Pottery Barn inspired dining table that only cost them $60 in lumber! Check out the post, her husband used simple plans from ‘Ana White’, another tutorial, and his own great ideas to come up with this. Amazing DIY!
  Ashley at ‘Cherished Bliss’ not only has a great tutorial and photos for her DIY outdoor table, she has free plans you can download too! We love the X-frame base of this table.
  This simple outdoor dining table was made with plans from ‘Ana White’ and submitted by one of her readers… This looks like an expensive teak table we saw at Room & Board last season.

  We LOVE this DIY concrete dining table we found on ‘Houzz’, but it didn’t come with a tutorial… So we went and found one for you! This tutorial from ‘DIY Pete‘ is almost identical.
