Help make Squidoo a Greener Place,
make a Gardening Lens!


Why You Might Get "Pruned" From The Green Thumb:
1) Lens is of low content quality, goes off its own topic or seems a work-in-progress. No customization of headers, no intro content or picture.
2) Lens is too commercial, has overly-heavy product placement or links that only point to one info source.
3) Lens bloom is over. New lenses on the same topic that are fresher and better maintained have been created in the system and joined the group.

Freshly Sown and Spruced!

Here Are Our Newest Lenses

I like lenses that make me feel like I'm listening to people who're talking about what they're really growing in their homes and gardens. I love DIY, backyard, organic, homemade, dirt-under-your-fingernails, compost-your-kitchen-scraps, veggie-cultivating, flower-smelling, container-using, bird and butterfly-attracting, fairy-friendly gardening!

Hi, Ive been a serious gardener for 12 years but as kid I poured over Beter Homes and Gardens Magazine and dreamed of someday having garden that looked like the ones in the magazine. Now I have!

Thanks, triathlontraining! Of course, it's gets "pruned and replanted" pretty regularly.

ClassyGals, try setting a few "beer traps" in your garden. (try looking that up on Google for more info) They work like a charm and are safe for pets.

I enjoy growing houseplants, and am especially fond of boston ferns and spider plants. Outdoors, I enjoy my rose garden. This year, I'm having a problem with slugs (uck!). Anyone know how to treat the problem safely? I have an outdoor cat.
