    I just saw this video, today is Monday June 24,2019 , and it was delightful. Shame on people for criticizing anything that you put in your video. You had a really good idea. I'm going to try this myself. I wanted to put solar lights by my driveway but I was afraid they were too close to the ground and someone might trip. Thanks for such a good idea, and by the way your dress was a very pretty addition even though you meant to change.
    I could feel your excitement. Great job

    I, like Nancy Hamacher, am viewing this for the first time. It is JUNE 30, 2019. I love the idea of the solar lights with plants. That is popular in my desert city. Hope all is well...and thank you for sharing.

    A month late and I went back to the store for more marked down goodies and you'll never guess, the little solar lights I had purchased for $4.88 were marked down to .75 cents! I ended up buying 6 and I'm not sure why I didn't buy more to put all around the sidewalks. Well, just had to tell you about my great find!

  • @joejoe-lb6bw
    @joejoe-lb6bw Před 5 lety +2

    Those solar lights don't last; just cheap imports. The ones I have lasted a max of two years. The battery replacement is hard to find (non-standard). They turn out to be more garbage for the landfill. That saying. while they last, they are great, and can add great accents around the house and garden. Why can't a quality solar light be built and sold?

    • @debrataylor4806
      @debrataylor4806 Před 5 lety +1

      +38kimpossible You're so sweet, I love these little pots, I go out at night just to make sure they're still working and I just love the "glow". Also I found some solar lights that were cheaper then ones I got, 2 dollars and something! So even a better deal. I guess the more expensive, the more light they emit. I'll have to ask my brother, he's a solar installer guy from way back, hehe.

If that is something she uses to make sure the soil doesn't get in her gloves or if they are just bracelets. I do yard work for a living and no matter how careful I take the gloves off I get poison ivy or what ever other poison there is.
