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.

Today was a tiring day. In addition to working my regular job, I had to leave early to take my daughter to her dance class and run a million errands. After all of that, I came home to prep and plant 115 calla lily bulbs for early spring flowers. They are tucked away [...]
