Garden

Well, it’s that time of year again: Spring cleaning! Making your way outside, you grab the duster and broom to get rid of all those cobwebs on your windows. They don’t stand a chance this time! Removing one cobweb after the other, you suddenly notice some weird shaped mud stuck under the eaves and porch! What’s this?It suddenly dawns on you: these have to be Mud Dauber Wasp nests! You’re probably thinking there’s a swarm of them around with so many nests being side by side! Luckily, Mud Dauber Wasps are solitary insects. Phew! All those little mud huts are filled with paralyzed spiders. Sometimes, even up to 500 spiders can be trapped in these lockers, just waiting for the wasp young to hatch.

This creature first appeared on our planet around a billion years ago. It thrives in damp environments and can survive pretty much anywhere — it might be in your basement as we speak. I think you’ve already guessed I’m talking about mold here.

When we ask our loved ones about what they would like to receive as a gift on a special occasion, we often hear that they don’t want or don’t need anything.

Sometimes shopping online can leave us feeling anxious, as we don’t always know if the item that we ordered is exactly the same as the picture or too good to be true. But don’t worry, we have gathered products that can very well meet your needs around the house. Just imagine owning a garden with sunflowers that not only glow in the dark but also save energy. And that’s only one exciting item that we have listed here.

What you see in this picture is a puffball mushroom. A man was fishing on the river when he discovered the thing. It measured 81 inches across and weighed around 52 pounds when he cut it. Oh, and did you know that in terms of genetic comparisons, mushrooms are more closely related to us than to plants? This turtle was found on the beach in Northern Wisconsin. In a small seaside town in Denmark, people have made the world’s tallest sandcastle. According to the Guinness World Records, this castle is 69.4 feet tall and weighs nearly 5,000 tons.

Alright. You’re scuba diving in the ocean, watching corals and colorful fish flitting by, when suddenly an enormous shadow appears above you. You look up and see a massive creature approaching you, its mouth a gaping abyss... Relax, just stay still and you’ll be fine.

It might seem that since European countries are part of Western culture, travelers are unlikely to encounter anything surprising there. However, some moments of their everyday lives or certain customs can be quite astonishing. We found stories from people who visited some of these countries or moved there permanently, compared them with our own experience, and came to the conclusion that this part of the world can be even more puzzling than an exotic country.

You’re sitting on the balcony, fiddling with your phone, when suddenly, everything around you starts to turn to dust. Gaping, you put your phone down. You see cars, bicycles, sidewalks, street and traffic lights disappear right in front of your eyes!People in the street are panicking and running in different directions. You glance at your watch, and it vanishes too. You turn to look at your room through the balcony door and see that all your furniture is turning to dust. You look back at the street and see nothing but a dust storm. Your house starts shaking. You run downstairs and stand in the middle of the road. You’re just in time to see the buildings in your neighborhood fade away.

The Statue of Liberty is 305 ft (93 m) tall and stands on Liberty Island in New York. It’s one of the most famous tourist attractions that The Big Apple has to offer. It was given to America as a gift from France in 1886. The statue was designed by a French sculptor called Frederic-Auguste Bartholdi.

For princesses in Disney movies, it’s usually enough to smile or sing a nice song to attract wild visitors from the forest and enjoy the company of animals, birds, and insects. In real life, however, it takes a bit more effort to see furry and feathery friends in your garden or backyard, but it’s totally possible. On Amazon, you can find all kinds of feeders that will attract birds and animals to your garden and make them stay. And if you want to go even farther, you can install a nice nester in your garden and see little baby birds hatch.

Take a minute to think of how perfect our lives would be if there were no spiders at all. Or, at least, if there was a way to capture these creepy crawlers without getting too close to them. TA-DA! Thanks to the universe, the spider catchers exist and are ready to turn this idea into reality. No more “AAAAAAH! It’s on me, it’s ON MEEEE!” Check out this item in action, get your wallet ready, and forget about shrieking, running, and crying forever.

Autumn is here, and that means it’s time to prepare the garden and yard for winter. Fallen leaves can lead to mold and block sunlight if not removed in time. Therefore, it is advisable to remove them as soon as possible, especially if you can still do something with those leaves. For example, they can be used as fertilizer for your lawn or as insulation material.In this Bright Side selection, you will find the most suitable and necessary equipment for cleaning the garden of your home.

The use of gadgets is a great tool to promote learning among children, and no, we don’t mean the PlayStation or the Xbox. Amazon has some great educational games and gadgets that will teach kids everything from coding, geography, electronics, biology, and more!

As the summer season is approaching, many of us are starting to plan yard and garden renovations. Turning our backyards into little sanctuaries where we can feel cozy, warm, and safe sounds exciting and difficult at the same time. From choosing materials to the building process itself, there are many things we should take into account to make our garden dreams come true. Luckily, there are many cool outdoor projects on Reddit, and they can become our inspiration.

Most of us have probably had at least one of those special moments in our lives that have rendered us speechless and overwhelmed with emotion. Whether it was with our kids, parents, or loved ones, those memories tend to stay with us the longest.We at Bright Side found stories from people on the net that made our hearts melt and we want you to feel as warm as we did while reading them.

For many of us, our gardens, backyards, and patios are little sanctuaries where we hide from the stresses and worries of everyday life. To make these hiding places even more beautiful and relaxing, you can decorate them with creative sculptures, rain chains, wind chimes, and, of course, magical lights that come in all colors and shapes, from flowers to honeybees.

While you might spend weeks baffled about some weird objects you’ve come across, trying to figure out their purpose, for some Reddit users solving these mysteries was a piece of cake. Whether it’s an unusual thing bubbling from the ground in your garden or suspicious white dots on a gummy bear you just bought, don’t worry, they most likely have the right answer for it.

A lot of birds have lost their homes due to how climate change and human activity affect their habitat. But birds are very important for nature and for us. For example, they control pests, spread seeds, and pollinate plants. Luckily, if you have a garden, you can make a couple of transformations to make it more bird-friendly and help birds survive.

Marshall is a gorgeous Golden Retriever with an Instagram where his human mom puts his thoughts into words. About 2 years ago, his world was changed forever when he got a little sister. Not only do they share some similar blond hair, but they also share so much in common and adore each other the way only siblings can relate to!

The decision to have a pet requires taking on responsibility. We study all sorts of sources about taking care and raising a pet and prepare ourselves mentally. But sometimes, things don’t go the way we planned, and the animals themselves choose us from thousands of other people, as if they’re saying, “Human, you’re mine.”

Baking soda is one of those often ignored powerful allies that everyone has at home: we use it for cleaning, to disinfect food, and even for aesthetic purposes, but we can also use it to take care of our garden.

The world is full of amazing plants. For example, Rafflesia arnoldii flowers are the biggest in the world and can be up to 17 inches in diameter and weigh up to 24 lbs. But you don’t have to go to a botanical garden to see what other things natural has in store for us: sometimes, surprising things can be seen on the way to work or in someone’s home.
