Missed Windows….
Happy Saturday night dear friends! Things have been moving right along here at the ranch! Lots put in soil, but not a lot of each one....about 15-25 of each (if there is multiple colors then there are 15-25 of those) I wanted more varity, it is so difficult to only plant 15-25 of each seed …
And so it begins….
Finally managed to get some seeds in the dirt January 31st! I planted Lavender, Bee Balm, Eucalyptus, Snap Dragons, Geraniums, Petunias, Lisianthus, and Chinese Lanterns. All but the Snap Dragons are new to me. I have no idea what I am doing! So excited to say that I already have a few babies popping up. …
Something new….Seed Bouquets
I'm so excited to announce I'm officially selling my Seed Bouquets. I've heard people are tired of giving and receiving things and stuff - sweets are nice, but how about a lovely Seed Bouquet?! It was an idea that came to me at 3 am about a week ago, I jotted down a few ideas …

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 😳 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 …

Sweet Peas Are Fussy – I Don’t Do Fussy Well
Sweet Peas.....why did I decide to do them? I'm a bit embarrassed to say I may have drank some of the Kool-Aid that Floret Farm was dishing out. It's not a bad thing, it just is. She was hooked on them, she made it sound so sweet and fabulous, I thought I'd give it a …
