This is the end of May, and I soak up the warm rays of afternoon sun that shone through the windows boravka.Pogled living in my garden is just a breath of spring, and I am full of ideas for planting plants this year.

, but soon it will be the end of June, and I'll be drawing curtains closed to block the hot summer sun to keep my air conditioner is working full time. I'll have to go outside to see my summer garden.

With this in mind I'm considering a relatively new trend in housing widow treatments for my home. You May have heard of tinted film, which was very popular for automobile glass, and commercial building applications. Today, new technology and fewer colors, residential solar films are becoming a popular choice for homeowners who want to keep their homes cooler and extend the life of flooring, furniture and even artwork.

These films can act as a "sun block" for your home. There are various brands of film on the market without mentioning any in particular, some options may include benefits such as visible light, which allows sunlight to pass through the film for maximum natural lighting and home solar energy rejection, which literally refuses to sunlight from the window. Some even block 99% of ultraviolet rays, in turn, protects your home and it's contents from sun damage. Others offer security and protection, to prevent windows from shattering it, bearing in place in case of burglary or accidental impact. Some are all of the above options and more!

For me the benefits of residential sheet sense, cooler climate in my home, protect my interior furnishings from sun damage and the environment safe from the risk of broken glass. For more information about this topic, please tune in on Saturday 9th May at 10:00. and enjoy the weekend!

Since I live in upstate New York, our growing season is not as long as I wanted it to be. It seems a lot of us enjoy growing their own gardens as it allows us to save money, live healthier and enjoy nature. However, some of us would like to start working outdoors in our garden as a hobby before. In fact, home gardening has increased tremendously in recent years due to commodity and fuel prices escalate. Let's explore my latest venture.

My most recent purchase of a nice freestanding greenhouse. It is a comfortable size for my gardening needs. It is about 5 feet tall, 2 feet wide and about 19 cm deep with 4 shelves. Because I wanted to extend the growing season my plants, I thought it would be a perfect idea. greenhouse is very easy to set up. I actually put a bag of sand on the bottom shelf, in case we had a strong wind coming through the area any time this winter.

I like the fact that it uses very little space out there. It is located nicely on the back of our home. I will not use it until March that it is still too cold in January to try to start the seedlings in it. However, this will allow me to start planting in pots of March and before the thaw in the State of New York because they gave me a jump on spring and save me money to buy established plants in May! I am very excited about what I can enjoy my hobby in the early winter months. Greenhouse should keep my plants warm and comfortable to get them to grow faster.
