It's about that time, and I can't wait. Lots has changed in the garden over the last 9 months. I'm excited to see what pops up where, because I can't remember everything I moved and where I put it 🤷‍♀️

The majority of plants, trees, and shrubs in the garden are native, pollinator-friendly varieties. It has taken some time to replace non-natives and invasive species, but the insect colonies seem to appreciate the effort.

So much has happened in the garden these last few weeks. I'm notorious for not taking photos (I'm too busy being present in the moment is what I tell myself), but here are several to enjoy. Things look so different today than they did when these were all taken, so I'll work on getting some current ones posted soon.

So much has been happening in and around the garden these last few weeks! There's always more work to do than I can reasonably fit into the day, but thankfully Mother Nature does what she does, with or without me.

I've made a few changes for this year. Tending to 24 annual cutting beds in addition to the landscape is a lot for this army of one. I started by switching the beds from 100% annuals to about half annuals, half perennials. About 100 new perennials went in the ground last November. All but one survived! Woohoo!

I use a soil blocking method to sow the annual seeds. Each teeny little seed gets placed into its own tiny little block of soil that resembles a brownie bite, then placed on heat mats in a temperature-controlled room under grow lights.

Snapdragons went into the ground today becuase they can stand some cold weather, but the rest will keep growing inside until May when I'm confident all danger of freezing and frost is gone (my personal guideline is not planting anything annual outside until after mother's day). That also gives me time to prep the beds, get the irrigation reconnected, and tend to the landscape beds, yard and trees. Oh, and work full time, raise these babies, and be and do all the things that life demands in between.

I hope you are enjoying spring wherever you are and doing things that fill your cup🌷🌱🐝❤️

I'll be sowing the first seeds of the season this week, so I took a walk through the garden to see how things are looking outside. I don’t do too much outside during the winter other than cleaning up fallen branches and making sure the birds have food and water.

There will be lots of work that needs to begin in the next few weeks and I'm itching to get out here and literally dig in. But, the cold weather and snow this week have been not so subtle reminders that it's not quite time yet, and if I'm patient, this magical little space of mine will reward my senses and fill my cup (and vases) to overflowing soon enough.
