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 planted Janie Spry marigold, Dasher Mix zinnia, and some Profusion Cherry and Apricot zinnia. I also put out some seed for hollyhocks just to see [...]

    Although there isn’t much blooming in my yard this week, there is always something going on in the garden. Textures and shapes abound all year, and right now things are starting to bud and bloom all over this area. My mother’s daffodils and crocus are in full swing right now.
    I snapped a couple of pictures [...]
