Mint Boxes

What should I do with all these little boxes?

I have about 20 or 30 little tin boxes (the kind that eclipse mints come in) and I saved them thinking maybe I could make something with them but I don’t have any idea what I could use them for. Any suggestions?

IF you have any parties or celebrations coming up soon, you could print out personalized labels on Avery sticky paper from Staples, cut to size, adhere to the top of the tins, then fill the tins with candy and hand them out as favors.

Otherwise, use them to store paperclips, staples, rubber bands, stamps, etc, in yor desk drawer.

Or how about hair accessories – bobby pins, hair bands, etc.

Band aids.
Meds – sort of a portable pill box.

Here are some wonderful plants that can grow in window boxes:

Biennials

Canterbury-Bells. Election of two years with the bell-length lavender purple, blue, pink and white. It's worth the effort, even if they die after flowering. In the spring, centers gardening flourished provide specimens. For dramatic compositions, group several together. You can grow your own seed sown in June or July.

The digital. Delightful, with tall spikes covered with bells. Sow in June or July and winter the young plants in a cold frame or in the garden, covered with straw or branches of evergreen swamp. Old-fashioned type have bells on one side of the tips, but the new English hybrids have flowers around the stems. Pot-grown roses are available in the spring.

Herbs for fragrance

If you like herbs and enjoy them in the kitchen, you can have an herb garden in containers. Try sun love rosemary, marjoram, parsley, sage, fennel, mint and chives in individual pots or tubs or other plants in large boxes. Growing up with them some of the geraniums scented leaves,

A few years ago, Ms. Frances R. Williams of Winchester, Massachusetts, who could not collect the herbs in her garden in the shade, decided to try it on her porch about nine square meters, which had sun until the evening. She used twelve baskets bushel floor and four egg cases, each with half-rotted compost to within four inches from the top. Then three inches of soil fertilized spread on top.

Two egg cases, Mrs. Williams planted summer savory, and a dozen basil plants in the other two. Dill, lettuce, basil leaves, narrow leaves French thyme and sweet marjoram is also cultivated. All gave enough salad for summer and winter drying. In some of the baskets, Mrs. Williams planted small cherry red fruits, pear, red and yellow, and yellow plum varieties of tomatoes. Since the containers held deep moisture for a long time, do not require daily watering. On the side of the shadow of the house, acres, filled mostly with compost, were planted with the head open and Bibb lettuce leaf.

Vegetables

Plants also can be grown in containers, if only the effect of the novel. Purple and kale are attractive and always arouse curiosity. Grouped around a pool table or a small white eggplants are fruiting in individual pots charming. Rhubarb in containers or boxes will make a bold accent for contemporary terrace. In containers, the feathery leaves of carrots, the linear leaves onions, and tomato fruits, especially small classes are fun to watch and eat.

The boat yard offers an excellent opportunity to grow plants miniature, a new way of gardening that is increasing in popularity. In England, where miniatures are increasingly has become a hobby, it makes a strong appeal older people, who like to fuss with tiny plants in stone sinks and other containers raised to waist level.

Cactus

In the hot climates with little rainfall, cacti and succulents can be the answer. They can be grown also in other areas, particularly by gardeners who like to travel without having to worry about the container plants left behind. Vegetation patterns and forms of these plants are fascinating, and many outstanding compositions can be achieved. Easy to grow, they need a thin soil and are best in small pots.

Water lilies and other aquatic plants can be grown in small tubs of low, maybe a water lily with a sample of Cyprus or floating hyacinth. In a large tub, Egyptian lotus, with its huge leaves and flowers rise several feet above the water surface, is a beautiful sight.

Bonsai

It is, however, increasingly popular, and books are available that indicate how to form and maintain these dwarf trees and shrubs.
