I’m finally getting to post this Saturday! Last Saturday I was busy in the garden, and the one before that, I was out of town in Miami. I took my son to a car meet where we spent 4 hours under the hot South Florida sun taking pictures of some cool cars, some that I could never afford… it was all fun. But this time, I’m posting before I tackle my Saturday landscaping chores. Despite the rainy week…

Propogation in a Jar - Update

I’ve been eagerly anticipating sharing this update, but I had to undergo cervical spine surgery which set me back a bit. Upon returning home from the surgery, I noticed some roots peeking through the soil. I had my daughter relocate the jar with the growing plants into my study so I could observe them closely. Despite the challenges, here’s the outcome: out of the 10 plants I placed in glass…

Some are thriving indoors, while others are gracefully blossoming outdoors. #1 The Nun’s Orchid in the back patio is blooming and the whole place smells amazing with its perfume. All the blooms are almost fully open! #2 The ground orchids are starting to peek…

The arrival of spring brings about a sense of renewal and vitality, as nature awakens from its wintry slumber. The past week has been especially delightful, with the lingering chill of the air finally giving way to a gentle warmth. It’s a time of transition, as the world around us begins to burst forth in a riot of colors and fragrances. The sight of blossoming flowers and budding trees is a…

Propagation in a jar

First and foremost, I must commend Backyard Paradise for their exceptional demonstration of a very aesthetically pleasing method of propagating roses. In my opinion, this is the most beautiful way to propagate roses. Since I can remember, I have enjoyed the process of growing plants from seeds or cuttings. I find it to be a delightful challenge, observing the stages of the seed or cutting as it…

Super Sunday

Today was an absolutely fantastic day! I conquered so many tasks in my garden. To begin with, I completed planting four more Aldi bagged roses that I impulsively bought a few days ago. I was uncertain about where to position them, not because I lack garden space, but because I must be meticulous in choosing their spots to prevent them from becoming deer snacks. First up are the two plants that I…

Valetine's Day Roses - belated post

Valentine’s Day is synonymous with roses, my husband usually gets me beautiful long-stem roses from a local florist every Valentine’s Day. This year I hinted to him that gifting a rose bush is more cost-effective and lasts longer. He asked me where he would buy my roses and which ones. I was quick to send a selection of three from Edmund’s Roses. These were the three I had in my shopping cart…
