Happy Hump Day! I just love this time of year! The weather is warming up and I love being outside, despite the agonizing allergies. I seem to be immune to all allergy medication, nothing seems to help. Any advice is greatly appreciated đ
Over the past few weekends I’ve been busy in my yard planting flowers, harvesting my winter garden and planting a new spring one. I couldn’t believe how much lettuce, parsley, and chard I had. It was a jungle out there. I’d say my first grow was a success! I couldn’t wait to get my new seeds in the ground for spring.
For my spring crops I planted, green beans, bell peppers, green onions (since the winter only produced one) and jalapenos. I’ll keep you posted on how everything is growing. Fingers crossed for another successful season.
Until then, here are some pics of the gorgeous flowers I planted. They make my yard look so fresh and cheery!
I’ve got Dianthus and Petunias in a large clay planter. If you’re looking for a clay planter, check Costco out! They are huge, come in gorgeous colors and only $40! You just can’t beat that price.
I also planted these beautiful Sun Stars. They’re like a half succulent, half flower plant. I couldn’t resist picking these guys up!
My rose bushes are in full bloom and smell amazing!
What are you guys planting this spring?
I love everything from cake to kale. Life is all about balance. I like to live, laugh and love to the fullest! Our time is too short not to enjoy ourselves.
Absolutely beautiful! The Sun Stars are my favorite. đ
Thank you! They’re my favorite too!
Oh Sarah such a great job you are doing! Love my gardens too!!! I suggest a generic to Claritin sold at WalMart Equate brand. Loratadine 10 mg exactly what is in Claritin at a fraction of the cost! It works (non drowsy). It is my go to since everything right now is in bloom here in lovely Florida!!!Your BBFF xo
Thank you, that means a lot đ I’ll have to give that a try and let you know how it works!
Gorgeous! I an’t wait for it to get nice enough to start planting!
I hope it warms up soon by you!
So pretty! You’re inspiring me to get a garden going! Have you tried acupuncture for your allergies? I’m a Licensed Acupuncturist (random, I know) and if you can find the right person to treat you and prescribe Chinese herbs (all natural) – it can really help!! Hope you find some relief!
You should plant a garden!
I haven’t tried acupuncture, that’s a wonderful idea. I love the all natural path. I’ll have to find an Acupuncturist by me and give that a go!
Those flowers are just gorgeous.
Thank you đ
Those flowers are way too beautiful! I wish I had enough space for flowers or a garden at best. But then again, I need to actually learn to care for plants. I have a bonsai that I am sure I have killed. Trying desperately to save it. We’ll see.
Have a wonderful weekend Sarah

Thank you! Wishing you luck on the bonsai đ Have a great weekend!
I love all the flowers! Our backyard looks wonderful this time of year too. We just did a little container garden this year and we put it in a spot that gets more shade so hopefully everything won’t die like it did last summer. We planted corn, cantaloupe, strawberries, tomatoes and watermelon. So far so good!
How fun! I can’t wait to come over for garden dinner and wine đ
