Hi Lovelies, The rain is pouring down out there and it's cold, so that could only mean one thing! It's time for me to jump on the ole' internet machine and write about something. In honor of my goal to write about and create a sort of short "review" for everything that I grow, I…

Hi Lovelies, It's beginning to feel a lot like fall here. I'm not necessarily a big fan of the weather getting cooler, but it's a nice change of pace since I'm already thinking about planting things for next year. One of the tasks this week has been clearing out some of the beds to get…

Hi Lovelies, I'm back! The bright sunshine and heat we've had the last couple days means one thing - I'm absolutely swimming in sunflowers. I planted about 13 different varieties of sunflower this year, mainly because if all else fails, I know that I can usually depend on them. *knock on wood* Anyway, this post…

Hi Lovelies, So, I won't lie - I'm starting to really enjoy writing these posts, and somehow they've managed to morph into reviews. I personally like the direction that I've taken because I know I like to extensively investigate anything that I plan to grow, and one aspect of that is seeing what other gardeners…
