Have you ever watched your neighbors in their garden and wondered what are they doing? And why are they doing that!? You might not be my literal neighbor, but I invite you to peek into my garden and see what I’m doing. In my blog I will answer those questions!

Whether I’m collecting plants or hoarding them, I spend a lot of time in my yard and garden. Follow my blog and decide for yourself! I’ll tell you what I’m doing and why and I’ll also honestly tell you what I should be doing and try to come up with good excuses for not getting those tasks done!
Weigela shrubs bloom in June, with an abundance of tubular flowers all over the shrub. In my yard, these shrubs are near the street in a hot rock bed with minimal water. Right now, they’re gorgeous and I love them and so do the bees.

Peonies grow so fast in the spring time, I feel like I can literally watch them grow.
The purpose of adding an amendment to the soil is to increase soil fertility, improve soil structure, or both.
