The only plant(s) appropriate for the weather

Not everything in a vegetable garden needs to be edible. A truly lovely salvia came into work the other day and I snagged it. "Ember's wish" is just a gorgeous specimen- I look forward to feeding the hummingbirds. Also threw in some anise hyssop into the mix because why not. Both plants are good choices … Continue reading The only plant(s) appropriate for the weather

I got a delivery from work a few days ago, just in time for mother's day. I had gotten a really pretty pot for mom last year- contents TBD. She'd been waffling on what kind of succulent- but via facetime I picked out this gorgeous blue ruffled echeveria. I'm happy to say it was a … Continue reading Growing up instead of out
