Every year before the frosts come, I bring in lots of plants. They end up in pretty much any room that gets some decent sun. Upstairs and down, they really are scattered all over. I grew strawberries for the first time last summer and I brought the strawberry plants in for the winter and the little [...]
There’s probably nothing better than getting home from work and seeing an unexpected box waiting for you on the doorstep! Yesterday I came home to a box labeled “Pro Plants” or something like that. I couldn’t think of what it could be. Okay, I knew it was probably a plant but it isn’t my birthday [...]
It’s been so blazingly hot and humid out that I’ve been hiding inside with the air conditioning and a lazy pup. I’ve also been working away on new knits, which always feels surreal when temps are in the 90s. I’m going to have a mini collection of fingerless gloves and maybe a few mittens to [...]
I have to get up early for work everyday, but I always take a little time in the mornings to make the watering rounds with Cors in tow. Cors sometimes likes to sneak a drink from the watering can. Sometimes he just watches for chipmunks. We start with the patio flowers. The first rosebud of [...]
Cors, the pup, and I have morning and after work rituals of watering the gardens. His favorite is the little container garden that’s growing on the balcony. He runs to the corner to poke his nose through the rails, tries sneak a little water himself and barks at the birds that are always hanging out [...]
I stocked up on bug spray and I’ve been out in the yard attaching the weeds that have gotten a little taller than my veggies. All this sweat, itchy bug bites and hard work is making me feel a little extra love for my house plants. I mean, salad garden I love ya, but look [...]
Hello! Sorry it’s been so quiet around here! We had a long weekend of traveling and when I say long I’m talking ten hour drives both ways, but it was so worth it! We went to West Virginia and got to see family and be at my good friend Anna’s wedding. It was a lovely [...]
It was super windy and a little chilly today so I didn’t manage to tackle any of my outdoor garden projects. Instead, I worked on a few knitting and indoor garden things. We did a little plant shopping and I spent most of the afternoon finding homes for our newest plants. We had barely enough [...]
We got a gorgeous taste of summer this weekend! Saturday I transplanted a bunch of my cute little seedlings (the cilantro is growing like crazy!) into larger planters and picked up this violet cineraria senetti to dress up the front porch. They’re the perfect in-between of blue and purple. Today we had a little impromptu BBQ with [...]
All my little seeds are growing like crazy and I’m almost worried I started them too soon. We might get snow this week so my little greens will be staying indoors for a bit. They seem pretty happy. They get lots of sunshine and enough, but not too much water….and music. Did you ever do [...]
I write about things I like: knitting, fashion, books, and other cozy, lovely things. Thanks for visiting!
