Merry Christmas!
Christmas morning we sang Happy Birthday to Jesus! Had our hot coco while others had their coffee. Brisket was done ready to bring in after being smoked all night. Played games, listened to music while house smelled of so many goodies. We even enjoyed watching the Spurs win. Go Spurs go! 🙌🏽😂 Oh ya we opened our presents and watched our kiddos smile. We had our walk through the garden, planning for next year and smelling the December rose blooms. Hope everyone had a Merry Christmas! 🎄 ✝️💚💚💚💚💚💚

Feeling pretty! So grabbed Ambrose for a pic! 😄 We were headed out to our daughter’s Christmas concert 🎺. So Hi! It’s been a while! Even though there’s no snow we are feeling the holiday cheer. Weather has been beautiful in San Antonio it’s like a second spring and we have been enjoying the garden. We have taken it slow, no videos lately. We needed a break this last move was a rough one and we just needed some time to adjust to our new life. We have been spending lots of time as a family, kids are growing fast and we don’t want to miss any of it. Sometimes turning off the camera is a must. We also had somethings to really think about and make decisions on. Gardening! Has been a blast here and we can’t wait to get back to making videos. Lots to share with everyone. Thank you to those who have continued to support us and a big welcome to those new to the channel. Not sure when we will have a video out, you can find us on Instagram or Facebook. I also try to share on the YouTube stories our garden once in a while or drop a post. We wish everyone a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! ✝️🎄💚💚💚💚💚💚💚

On November 10, 1775, a Corps of Marines was created by a resolution of the Continental Congress. Since that day many thousand men have borne the name Marine. In memory of them it is fitting that we who are Marines should commemorate the birthday of our Corps by calling to mind the glories of its long and illustrious history. I have two birthdays each year, one that was given to me and one that was earned. To all who have earned the right to be called a Marine I say Happy Birthday Marine. For 250 years, Marines have been on the frontlines protecting the very freedoms we enjoy today and will continue to do so in the air, on land, and sea and if you happen to look on Heavens scenes; you will find the streets are guarded by United States Marines. 🇺🇸
Photos are from Belleau Woods, France
where Marines fought a major battle in WWI

Step out of your box, there might be something amazing waiting for you. This weekend has been very inspirational. Stepped away from one passion to another passion. We heard a speech this weekend that rocked our core. Not from a gardener but from a singer “Get your hands dirty drop the screens get out of your garage or your little room and get obsessed with something get passionate. We all want to share in what you might create.” -JackWhite White Stripes As I get older I move away from the screen, I have to so I can live and experience the things I love and then I can come back and share my passion with others who also are in search of inspiration. This world moves so fast and if you don’t share in an instant you get lost but I don’t let that bother me. What we share comes from our hearts it’s a passion and obsession of gardening because gardening has been there for our entire family through hard times and great times that become beautiful memories. You don’t need much to creat what you want, it all starts from nothing to something small and it grows. Just like the seeds we plant and explode into these beautiful flowers that make us smile and give to nature. This speech I listened to ended with God and it made me so happy. My garden is my church where I go and pray and listen. How do you share what you love so much if you live in fear of sharing where it comes from because you might not get likes?! I can’t. I love gardening and always will, I want to share our obsession with the world because I know how good it is for everyone. Not long ago life took us to a place where we never thought we would be and met with so many who are in search of belonging. We shared what we know, a flower and it lit their faces with hope. Everyone has a green thumb that’s what I want everyone to know! It’s a gift that is there waiting to be found if you haven’t found it yet. If you are still reading thank you. I can’t wait to get my hands dirty! So let’s step out who cares if you got all the right or wrong materials to garden. Just walk out there and start turning a dream to reality, along the way you will learn.💚💚💚💚💚💚 We’re going to be friends 🎶#bloomwhereyouareplanted #gardenobsessions #gardening

Starting the day in the shade garden aka secret garden. I shared a short this morning, update on how it’s going. So far so good! Yes this is growing in San Antonio! 🤏 I have to pinch my self! 😂August being the hottest month here in Texas comes with many challenges as the sun is brutal. But here we are and soon with cooler weather and a calmer sun. I’ll do another video soon on this area.
Ambrose is editing a few more videos where he will be sharing another area he has been working on. It’s also bringing more shade to the garden and that means for me more areas to plant more pretty. 🙂 See yall soon! 💚💚💚💚💚💚 Bloom where you are planted!

New video today! Planting zinnias from seed for fall blooms! We made a flower bed in the kitchen garden to attract more pollinators to our fall veggies. With our warmer climate we have the ability to have some great fall crops and flowers. The photos are zinnias we grew last year in the garden.
Planting zinnias from seed and growing them is very easy. Watch our video for tips on growing zinnias how to amend the soil and direct sow the seeds for a beautiful zinnia fall flower bed. 💚💚💚💚💚💚

We got rain and didn’t have to water! 😃🙌🏽💚 Always thankful for the rain. I keep looking at the garden and I sound like a broken record but I’m amazed at some things I’m seeing. Some plants are like just give me sometime and I’ll be ready to give you a show and others are like I don’t care if I’m a baby 🪴 and it’s brutally hot I just want to bring the pretty! 😂
We could be making lots of videos but we are just taking it all in and learning so we can help our southern garden friends. We could just learn the information and turn on the camera and act like we know it all and be unauthentic. Or we can live it and feel it, enjoy the process and be real like we always do. We prefer the being real even if a takes time. We also needed a break and also needed to think about things creators never talk about that happens in the world of gardening (behind the scenes) and if it’s really what we want in our life’s. We just want to say thank you for being here for your support even when we take long breaks. It’s been a big change as well moving back to our native home Texas, which we are loving. Hope you enjoy the shorts we share of the garden. We will have videos up soon as we are preparing to plant for fall planting.
Do what you do because you love it! 💚 Bloom where you are planted! 💚💚💚💚💚💚

Paws up! Charlie says hi! 🐾🙂💚 Happy weekend! We got some banana trees to move and a few other areas we want to continue on. Weather is beautiful high 80s and we might get some rain. Ambrose also brought home a few small compact zinnias to add to the garden. What are your garden plans?! I might get Charlie to help out in the garden. He does love lettuce but will have to wait a little to plant it so maybe he should help out in the kitchen garden preparing for fall planting?! Always fun in the garden! Happy gardening!💚💚💚💚💚💚
