What I'm All About:

I grow cut flowers for brides and florists, but I also blog my gardening adventures as a commercial and home gardener. I primarily grow perennials in an effort to create a habitat for bees, birds, butterflies and other critters, but I also grow some favorite annuals every year from purchased or saved seed (or both!). In these pages you will find a mixture of advice, rants, growing information for flowers and herbs, links and resources, photo albums, and everything in between.

I live in Batesville, Mississippi, Zone 7B, so what I do in my garden may not necessarily work for you.

If there is anything you would like to see added to the site or have any gardening questions you think I can answer, please feel free to send me an e-mail. See my About me page for more info.

    I have been seriously lax in posting, and for that I apologize. I do have a valid excuse (or two). It’s not that I’ve lost interest (not entirely), it’s just been raining like mad! I also started classes on 8/25, and picked up my knitting hobby again, in addition to taking a second part-time job [...]
