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, Well, the fall rain here seems to have officially started (with more in the forecast) courtesy of the hurricane down south. Luckily enough, I was able to quickly throw this year's daffodil bulbs into the ground. Here in zone 6b, I ideally like to plant my daffodil bulbs around mid October - so…

Hi Lovelies, Well, we made it! Day 15 of Blog-tober! If I had known that 31 days of straight blog posts would be this difficult, I'm not sure I would have taken on the task - but, I'm enjoying it nonetheless. With tons of orders of spring seeds and bulbs landing on my front porch…

Hi Lovelies, So, social media. Most people either love it or they hate it. You get on Facebook, and there's your ex-boyfriend cruising around the coast of Hawaii on his new yacht and suddenly you've completely forgotten how miserable you were for like 3 years of your life. Like many people, I hated social media…

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…

Hi Lovelies, It seems that I've managed to stumble upon another winner! I ordered 'Ali Oop' (like many of my other tubers) on a whim when things were on sale this year. While I'm not sure about the origin of the name on this one, I'll just assume that it has something to do with…

Hi Lovelies, Well, well. It's hard to believe this is already my fifth post of October! In many ways, October is the month that I'm doing the most things. I'm planting bulbs (and ordering, lol), looking for bargains to save money for spring, and trying to enjoy the last of the nice weather before…

Hi Lovelies, Well, it's day four of Blog-tober and we're still going strong - though admittedly, I may or may not be extremely worried about running out of ideas within the next week. Today we'll be taking a look at another dahlia that I grew this season. In an effort to keep these reviews completely…
