This beautiful Sunday sunshine has me dreaming of summer blooms! 42 days until SPRING!!! 💐
1ST SEEDS OF 2022 SEASON 🌱
💐2022 season has officially started. It felt so good to get my hands back into some dirt on this cold day. We started our slow growers like lisianthus, eucalyptus, Delphinium and lavender. Over 1,200 seeds total today. Now praying for some great germination. 🌱
When vision, passion and promises collide 🌸
Almost a year ago today, I was looking out my front window praying. When suddenly I seen fields of flowers. I’ve always had a love for flowers. When I was a little girl, I dreamed of living in the middle of a wild flower patch. So when I seen the flowers in the vision, I instantly felt my true passion come alive that day.

And almost all of those things did happen. A late frost hit, bugs came
