Hi Lovelies, First and foremost, let me apologize to everyone who left a comment on the last post and I didn't get a chance to respond. I've been having major technical difficulties over here, which I have hopefully resolved. Now that I've done a lot of winter sowing, I feel like the season has started…

Hi Lovelies, It looks like winter is officially here. It's been colder and I've been "babying" the ranunculus in the polytunnel on the extra cold nights. I'll talk more about that in a second. Things seem to be way busier than they should be right now. But, it's definitely been "one of those" weeks. Just…

Hi Lovelies, Long time, no see. Well, the leaves have completely fallen here. This means that with the exception of the plants in the hoophouse, the hardy annuals are completely covered beneath a nice layer. While some folks like to rake and rake, I don't, so I just let them be. That's the great thing…

Hi Lovelies, Well, I've been running around trying to get everything in the garden cleaned up while simultaneously taking care of what feels like 1000 other tasks, and I'm feeling quite exhausted! Just thought that I would quickly share a few things I've managed to get completed! Have a great day!
Hi Lovelies, First my apologies that I didn't to complete Blog-tober. Something which required travel came up unexpectedly and believe me, I'm kicking myself more than you know. Though I'm still away, I felt I needed to make this post and am attempting to do so via mobile phone - thus, the lack of photos…

Hi Lovelies, I was certainly cutting it close on today's post. Currently, I'm cleaning up a giant mess of a flooded basement. Since I've got a lot of mopping to do, I thought I would show you some of the last sunflowers that were picked. I planted the seeds rather late, around August 10th -…

Hi Lovelies, This post is a little late, but don't worry - I didn't forget! I'm still knee-deep in cleaning up this season's mess, and now that it's colder, I'm a lot less motivated to even walk outside. It's usually at this point in the game that I start wondering why I don't live in…

Hi Lovelies, With fall in full swing, it's a good time to learn how to save seeds of some of my favorite flowers. Luckily for me, collecting seeds from many plants is super easy - one of these being, zinnias. When saving seeds of anything, it's important that the varieties that you're saving aren't hybrids.…

Hi Lovelies, So here we are on day 22, and I'm still behind in the vast majority of things that I need to get finished. I've still got to transplant over half of the anemones and ranunculus, I still have a bag of tulips to go into the ground, I still have hundreds of daffodils…

Hi Lovelies, Day 20 has come a little bit early to the blog, for the main reason that I probably won't have internet access later tonight when I usually do my 2am writing - I know, I know. Anyway, one of the major tasks that I was able to accomplish today was planting out the…
