Hoya bloom

I’ve had this Hoya Kerrii for about two years now and this is the first time she has bloomed. I keep it in my greenhouse, trellis it up for support, and keep the soil semi-moist during the summer. And love, I give her lots of love.

Note to self

Plant more cosmos! I fell in love with them this spring and plan on growing more for the fall.

LOVE IN A MIST

Nigella is such a stunner in an arrangement. She can bring height, an airy element, or fill up a space with intricate detail. I throw out seeds in the fall and by March they pop up with little fuss. The pods are great dried and the seeds can easily be harvested for the next season. A must have for a spring garden.

APRIL

April definitely brought lots of showers. Ranunculus and anemones are done, poppies are on the home stretch, and I’ve been sowing seeds for summer and fall. I’m excited for my Mexican Torch sunflowers and seeing all the different varieties of zinnias I’ve planted.
