I love to keep a flower garden.  I don’t bother with a vegetable garden, it is so much hard work and so time consuming.  For the amount of veggies we eat around here, it is just more cost effective to buy them at the farmer’s market or grocery store.  Besides I don’t want to deal with trying to protect my food harvest from all of the garden pests that think that my garden is an all-you-can-eat buffet!

In our area, a lot of people have problems with pests coming into their gardens and eating up all of their hard work.  Deer and rabbits seem to be the worst offenders around here, although an occasional raccoon has been known to help himself to the corn crop!  I like the Havahart products that help to deal with unwanted animals in a humane way.  They sell a defence animal repellent spray online at their website havahart.com that repels rabbits and deer.  What repels them is the smell, so they are not harmed in any way.  These sprays are organic and will not damage the environment in any way.  If I were to decide to try to grow veggies I would definitely use this product to try to protect my garden from being eaten up by the deer and rabbits!

My brother is renting a studio apartment and has decided that he needs a washer and dryer.  Well, you can imagine how limited his space is – so I told him that I’ve seen washer/dryer combinations that are specifically for small spaces.  These machines are a combination machine that first washes, and then dries the clothes without having to move the clothes from one machine to another – you put the dirty clothes in, and when the clothes come out they are clean and dry.  I think that is really cool!  If you are the type of person that wants to only do one load of laundry a day, that would be a major convenience to have!
