How do you feel about garden lighting?
I love it as long as it's soft and sets a mood....oh and doesn't cost me much
I've got little candle holders spotted around the yard and I've got those fairy light balls I made with wire planter baskets up on the deck....
...and now, I've got another lot of lights that provide a beautiful glow once the sun goes down...and it's a way of using up some bits and pieces you either have at home, or find at the local op-shop/thrift store
I thought I'd post this little project that I mentioned I'd show Natalie over at In The Night Sky. . She's recently done a mini-makeover in her laundry and powder room and had this rather "gorgeous" amber light fitting in the laundry that she's now replaced.
It's way past it's use-by-date inside, but believe it or not, it's still useful and it's colour is perfect for the GARDEN!
All you have to do is get yourself a little battery operated tea light candle, turn the amber ball upside down in a garden bed, with the candle inside...and watch it glow
Not convinced?
I put a few of these around the garden for Christmas and again for a recent party and they looked wonderful.
The latest issue of Real Living magazine has a feature on garden lighting too and it has some lovely ideas.
It shows us different ways to set the mood in the garden...or pool
Even in trees.....
Lovely ideas that can be adapted with a little imagination
I've got more, inexpensive projects for garden lighting...
...and as soon as I can locate the source so I can give the appropriate credit...I'll post about it.

Tomatoes - slow roasted
Remember these from a few days ago?
Well, I turned them into these beauties...
Preheat oven to 100 degrees, cut tomatoes in half, place on a lined baking tray, season with freshly ground pepper and salt, drizzle with olive oil and place in the oven for about 2 and a half hours.
That's it
Delicious
They still turn out very moist and juicy, so if you want them to be a little "drier" then turn up the heat to about 150 degrees, but remember to check on them every hour, just to make sure they're OK.
I've also posted the recipe over here

From the Garden
Look what I found when I got home...
These luscious red beauties!
MONT put in three tomato plants around the rose bushes in December and they haven't stopped delivering!
I know what's for dinner tonight
