Flowers and Gardening are my passion. I’m hoping that I can share with you what I am learning and help you avoid the mistakes I have made. I’m trying to keep it real, and offer information that is applicable to anyone! My first plant I bought died because I didn’t realize that annuals died in the winter haha. I’ve come along way and even completed my Mater Gardener Certification. Thanks for joining me on my journey. My yard still has a long ways to go 👍🏻 and the transformation is so much fun.

Hey guys! I hope you’re enjoying your holidays. If you haven’t checked out my latest video on my Christmas decor , I just posted it. I know I’m a little behind, but I foraged most of my materials and Costco has amazing garlands for 20 dollars. Hopefully it will give you some inspiration for next year ( or maybe this year) if you still want to decorate for Christmas. A lot of times I drive around my neighborhood and find some gems. Evergreens just seem to fall in my lap. ( I’m being watched over) Anyway, thanks for being a part of my channel. It’s fun to share my passion with fellow gardeners who share the same love. I’m grateful for this Christmas season and I hope you all have a wonderful Christmas. I’m not sure if I will post next week or the following week. I want to focus on my five children and family over the next couple of weeks! It’s very busy and they are home from school. Peace!

Hello everyone! I hope you had an amazing thanksgiving. It’s near the end of November! Crazy. I have been busy planting tulips. It’s crunch time because we are going to be getting tons of snow next week. I have over 1100 tulips I’m planting this year. I’ll have a video up soon. I got the influenza last week, right when I was going to plant. Not being able to plant my tulips was causing me a lot of stress. Thankfully our weather is cooperating. Anyway I wanted to say hi! Thanks for being apart of my channel and if you have any questions let me know. Have a wonderful night! ❤️

Hey guys! I hope you’re having an awesome week! This week has been crazy. I won’t be posting this week. I’ll be back at it next week. I have been busy doing some small makeovers in my yard. Videos soon…I’m planting lots of annuals this year! I didn’t anticipate doing that, but it’s more cost effective this year for me and a great way to fill in spaces until our big projects take place over the next few years. My husband and I are having fun working together in our new landscape company. We are officially owners now! Hooray! What an adventure life is. I never thought we would be doing this together and that my husband would be putting flowers pots together. Thanks for the support!!!

Here’s a pic of my greenhouse in case you wanted to see it! I really do love it! Gets me thru winter and provides necessary space that I don’t have in my house with five kids!

Hello again? I have a question for you all. I have been getting a lot of questions about my greenhouse. Would you be interested in a Q & A video regarding the questions you might have? Otherwise I could just do a video on the pros of having one. A few things I have on learned and would have done differently. Why it’s great during winter and the benefits for gardening and mental health… etc. I have never done a Q and A video. My husband grows a ton of veggies and uses it as much as I do, so I would want him in the video to answer questions also. Let me know!
Thanks
Steph

Hey guys! I hope you had a great January! Personally I’m glad it’s over. It was a dark one and I’m ready for spring. Anyway, I’ve had a few questions about my greenhouse. I want to do an update video and discuss a bit of the pros which are many and some of the cons. Would I build it again. Heck yes! It’s been so fun. If you have any questions regarding this topic let me know in the comment section and I can try to address those question. I’ll see you soon and have a wonderful day. Our sun is out shining and it’s gorgeous.

Just wanted to give a final update of my waxed amaryllis blooms! This second round is prettier than the first. A few days ago I was hating the red. Today I’m loving it haha! I also wanted to say hi and I hope everyone is getting through the winter alright ( especially if you’re affected by seasonal affective disorder) …unless of course it’s not winter for you. Happy Thursday! Now I got a basketball game I have been excited for all day to go watch.

Hey guys. I have an update on my waxed amaryllis bulbs. They re-rooted! It took about a month or maybe sooner. I didn’t dare check earlier. I was practicing patience and did a pretty good job 🤪. If you’re interested in seeing this I just posted a video about it. I hope you’re enjoying January. We have had little sunshine, tons of rain for this time of year, and lots of snow. I’m starting to crave sunshine and spring. Good thing time flies! Have a good evening!

Hey guys. I hope you guys are doing good. I’m hoping to get a video out in the next couple days. I’m planting some seeds and getting ready for it. It’s taking a bit more videography , preparation and time…just so you know! These are the seeds to plant in January. Some of the earliest ones to get a head start in my zone 6b climate. So I can get blooms in my cooler temps before it gets to hot in my somewhat non existent spring. Have a great night!

Hello! Happy January. I finally got my 2022 Gardening year highlight video up. It was a crazy and frustrating season. It was the hottest summer to date and soooo dry! I’m glad I survived it. We did so many projects in one year. I couldn’t believe it. This video was eye opening. Anyway, check it out if you have not. On a side note, buy the early doll tomato to grow for 2023! Its is so tough and handled the 2022 season like a champ. So flavorable and juicy. Great for summer sandwiches and BLT’s . Good luck with whatever you’re doing right now .
