If anything, this fall planting season hasn't been "normal." Between moving house and a huge delay in shipping times, I feel so relieved that I was finally able to tuck away the tulips into their beds today. This season, I planted roughly 1,500 bulbs. Though that isn't a big number for most experienced growers, it's…

One of the biggest challenges of growing in a small space is finding the room to grow flower bulbs. While perennial bulbs, like daffodils, will require more thought. I generally can plant tulips anywhere, because I treat them as an annual which will be removed after bloom. This fall, I'm planting roughly 1500 tulips in…

One of the main reasons that I started blogging and making videos, doesn't even really have anything to do with wanting to teach people to grow things. I was SO TIRED of seed catalogs. Seriously, I would plant something based on the photo, and the plant wouldn't look anything like it! I wanted to create…

Foxy foxtrot tulips have also started to bloom in this year's garden - yet another new-to-me variety. This variety is very similar to 'Charming Beauty' in that the beautiful light orange color is splashed with tones of pink. Here are a few more photos from the yard -

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…

Hi Lovelies, By now you've probably figured out that it's very rare that I do anything without procrastinating for as long as possible first. That means I haven't even ordered or bought my tulip bulbs. Technically, I could be planting them right now, but it's not exactly a secret that I'm waiting on them to…
