I know this isn’t for everyone but hear me out!! 👇🏼To start with a disclaimer- I do not grow flowers for profit, I am not a traditional flower farmer so I do not need to squeeze out every inch of the growing season to make sure I get my flowers! I am a gardener who loves having fresh flowers for bouquets and around my home and venue, who also lives in Upstate NY. Now, I am also a person who gets super excited, buys a ton of seeds, starts them, and then the excitement wears off and they get leggy and stressed and it becomes a big hassle for me. I like to direct sow as many seeds as I can and direct sowing has some serious perks over starting seeds indoors! Here’s why you might want to plant straight into the soil:1️⃣ Stronger Roots – Plants that grow where they’ll stay develop deeper, healthier roots without the stress of transplanting.2️⃣ Less Work, More Growth – Skip the seed trays and hardening-off process! Direct sowing means less handling and faster adaptation to outdoor conditions.3️⃣ Less Leggy Plants – Indoor seedlings often stretch toward light, becoming weak and spindly. Direct-sown plants grow sturdier and more compact with natural sunlight.So I will start some seeds like snapdragons and marigolds inside, but for the most part, I like to put them in the ground and go from there. One part of being a gardener is knowing what works best for you, and direct sowing works best for me 🤘🏼Which method do you prefer?

It’s a wild world out there 🤭The thing that has made me laugh the most is probably when people got so mad at me for having a reaction after I grabbed the snake.

They not like us ❄️ And that’s ok! Just a practice of being patient! I also am not a flower farmer where I sell my yield. I just really like being immersed in flowers up to my eyeballs all Summer and Fall! I will be starting our snaps and marigolds around the last week of March beginning of April since our last frost date is around Memorial Day! (I’m also in zone 5B/6A)So if you want to start your seeds for flowers that give a big show with little effort, follow along @compassacres When are you starting your seeds!? 🌼 #compassacres #flowersmakemehappy #gardendesign #gardenlove #gardencoach #seedstarting
Did I mention they were beautiful? 😍😂
Ok I have a flower bias for the limelight. I can not fathom anyone would spend their time being bullied by the other hydrangeas when you can just plant a limelight. I literally have limelights in full sun and in clay soil and they still produce blooms!
So here are another 5 reasons you should plant a limelight hydrangea:
1️⃣ Hardy & Reliable – They thrive in various climates and bounce back year after year.
2️⃣ Low Maintenance – Minimal pruning, drought-tolerant once established, and resistant to pests.
3️⃣ Long Bloom Season – Stunning lime-green blooms transition to pink and last from summer to fall.
4️⃣ Versatile & Adaptable – Perfect for garden beds, containers, or hedging.
5️⃣ Thrives in Sun & Shade – They’re happy in both, making them easy to place in any garden!
The ONLY problem I have are the deer, but I wrap them In netting while the new growth is coming in and I don’t have a problem! (And I can’t give them a knock bc the deer know no boundaries)
Whether you’re a beginner or a seasoned gardener, these beauties are a must-have in your garden. If you want a show-stopping perennial that’s effortless to grow, Limelight hydrangeas are the way to go! 🌿💚

10 benefits to a long cold Winter 🥶 It has been a winter! And now that I am into gardening, it can be a little tough seeing my southern flower friends starting seeds and in short sleeves 😁But that’s ok, and I wouldn’t trade the Seasons and embrace the down time, but I wanted to be optimistic and put together 10 ways the cold winter benefits the Gardener and the Gardens 🙌🏼🌬 For Your Body:1️⃣ Boosts Immunity – Cold exposure activates brown fat, improving metabolism and immune response.2️⃣ Reduces Inflammation – Cold weather helps ease muscle soreness and joint pain.3️⃣ Increases Mental Resilience – Facing the cold builds mental toughness and improves mood. ( although there is a point I think the cold weather gets to me 🤣)4️⃣ Enhances Sleep Quality – Cooler temperatures help regulate melatonin, leading to deeper sleep.5️⃣ Burns More Calories – Your body works harder to stay warm, increasing calorie burn.🌱 For Your Garden:1️⃣ Kills Ticks & Pests – Deep freezes reduce tick populations, lowering the risk of Lyme disease, and also kill off harmful garden pests.2️⃣ Controls Plant Diseases – Many fungi and bacteria can’t survive extreme cold, leading to healthier plants in spring.3️⃣ Improves Soil Health – Freezing and thawing break down organic matter, enriching the soil with natural nutrients.4️⃣ Strengthens Plants – Hardy perennials become more resilient after enduring a cold winter.5️⃣ Acts as Natural Fertilizer – Snow captures nitrogen from the atmosphere, and when it melts, it delivers essential nutrients to your garden.Embrace the cold—your body and your garden will thank you! ❄️🌿 How are you handling the Winter?#WinterWellness #ColdWeatherBenefits #NatureAtWork #compassacres #flowersmakemehappy #gardendesign #gardencoach #flowers #wellness #gardener
Whole story in the caption 👇🏼Wait wait wait you’re telling me that you didn’t know you had an AIR FILTER and didn’t change it for 7 YEARS?!? Yeah 😵💫 so our basement is made up of a gas furnace and a wood fire furnace (which both have filters and we only knew about one) and we have never used the wood furnace but we saw that’s where an air filter was so we assumed that was the only one that needed to get changed. Well my aunt was talking about air filters and MERV and I’m sitting there like “well who really cares” and then I got to thinking to check some stuff out. Well yeah, that’s when we went poking around and found that horror story of a filter.I honestly can’t even believe the furnace still worked, but I ordered those filters and switched it out and made a game plan to over haul the basement bc it was so dusty and gross. But yeah, the garden is way more entertaining but for indoor health purposes, this was a priority to take care of and this is where the basement remodel was born!I love @nordicpure because they are competitively priced, ships FOR FREE right to your door, tons of sizes, lots of MERV options, and Made in America 🇺🇸 give them a follow and check out nordicpure.comTake care of yourself and your home! And Please, go change your air filters 😅🤣#compassacres #winterproject #basementremodel #furnace #airfilters #gardenerinthewinter
Reveal coming soon! 🤩I’m a gardener on of off season, so during the winter months I love to tackle some home renovations to improve our home.

It instantly makes everything look cleaner, brighter, and more inviting.Here are 3 tips for painting your basement like a pro:1️⃣ Choose Light, Neutral Colors – This helps reflect light and makes the space feel bigger and airier.2️⃣ Use Mold-Resistant Paint – Basements can be damp, so opt for paint with mildew-resistant properties.3️⃣ Prep Your Walls Properly – Clean, patch, and prime to ensure the paint adheres well and lasts longer.What has been your winter project this year?? ❄️ #BudgetFriendlyUpgrade #BasementMakeover #FreshAndClean #winterproject #gardenerinthewinter #diy #compassacres
