Greetings! It's been far too long since I've blogged...things have been a bit tops-turvy over here. Risking blending my GARDEN blog with my personal life....(which I kind of already did when I wished my dad a happy birthday and took a moment to discuss addiction on the 22nd of February)......being a mom of two 20'something-or-rathers …

Rushing It?
I planted 40 seeds yesterday, wondering why I'm planting so early, and if things are going to work out. According to the packet, the CFMN will be ready by May 20th.....the garden might just be ready to start planting by then, certainly not established by then.... The land is unworkable until it dries up & …
Hard Working Bells of Ireland
I made a mistake when I planted my Bells of Ireland....I put them in the dark...I got mixed up with the Chinese Forget Me Nots đŗ that I didn't even plant yet! However....they are doing amazing-and now they I've checked on the package & realize that indeed they actually don't need darkness to germinate....they are …

Non-Florist Flower Farmer
I do not want to go on a rant this early in the blessed am, but I do want to state something that is important...I'm not a florist. I have no intentions of doing weddings. I've recently seen some of the latest and greatest "popular" floral designs and have found I am not a fan. …
Desperately Seeking Light
The sweet peas were transplanted in the living room last night, they were outgrowing their tiny planters! It's amazing the power that seeds have, how alive they can be! All reaching for the light from the double doors to the frozen patio. The ones in this picture are ones that haven't been transplanted yet!! I …
Extreme Carnage – Graphic Content – Seeds Matter

Mystery Seeds in Unexpected Places
It's not a big mystery ((any longer)) as to what the seeds are - the mystery is HOW they got where they are currently thriving! Originally I didn't know what they were! My husband and I have some very interesting Theories as to how they arrived. One of them involves mice wearing cloaks & masks, …
Maybe I’m Not Cut Out For This….
I walked into the laundry room this morning to check on my babies....I made a horrible scoffing noise. My husband was standing behind me and told me that I should be nicer to them, because they know what I'm saying to them. I was super careful with my seeds - at least I thought I …
