Today, I bring you news from the garden channel. Things here, are planted, watered and now we wait. Meanwhile, let's look at how others are faring.

I believe that all gardeners have a frugal, eco-friendly streak in them. I especially like to find unique objects, and create container gardens out of them. Some of my favorites from past years have been:

• A metal sink , found in a ditch when spring cleaning the yard
• A toilet
• Old workboots
• A rusty woodcook stove that weighs a ton

Marie Iannotti, About.com's Gardening Guide, is talking about recycling as well. She would like to see some photos of how gardeners are using recycled objects in their gardens. I will only add that I wish would take more photos of things that I garden. Unfortunately, I always seem to be outside, while my camera is inside.

Did you ever think back to some gardening thing you had done in the past and just cringe? I certainly did, when I read About.com's Guide to Landscaping, David Beaulieu's blog, about the invasive nature of the burning bush . I think of how many of these that I convinced customers to purchase, and it makes me so embarrassed. See? You never know enough about gardening, no matter how long you do it.

If you are looking for an easy way to create a successful garden, Colleen Vanderlinden, About.com's Guide to Organic Gardening, helpfully explains what the lasagna gardening technique is, what might go wrong and how to fix the problem. All in all, after reading, there is no reason you can't get out there and lasagna garden a new herb garden!

If all this talk of digging, mulching and growing is making you feel overwhelmed, you have to visit About.com's new Guide to Small Farms: Tamara Lujan. She has created a simple list to help you prioritize your Spring Chores. That way, you will still have time to enjoy a glass of lemonade. Or herbal tea, perhaps?

Herbs are grown for their beauty as well as their useful nature. Visit About.com's new Guide to Trees and Shrubs: Vanessa Richins, as she shares a beautiful bush that will attract hummingbirds to your garden. It creates a lovely backdrop to some of my favorite herbs.

I hope you have enjoyed this meander around the gardening channel. If you would like to see this month, please feel free to comment!

Now, get out there and plant something!
