I always begin the spring with herbs. Plants that have been seeded and protected all winter. They are hardier. For the south there is no limit. Basil, thyme, rosemary,dill, lavender, oregano, green onions, shallots. Lemon balm. Lemon grass. Lemon verbena. Basil will be your most sensitive. Add to the list in comments. 🌱

It's me. Word is out that I am in Louisiana and I have been running into people and getting calls about spring time planting. I will try to address a few of these things in coming posts. We can discuss everything from the soil test to the making of a delicious potting soil. The best and quickest way to have successful seeding and raised beds and pots for maximum production. Hang with me and welcome to Spring in the South. Now is the time to test soil, and cut those roses back if you haven't already. You are in a blessed part of the earth. Super long growing season. 🐝

Still here by the grace of God. Lovely weather with plenty of moisture in the ground here in Southwest Louisiana. Lovely time for planting seed for spring bloom and vegetables. Rock it! Seed, root.
Give thanks!

Trying not to overwhelm my Ann Diaz friends. But those interested, David Austin doesn’t just have the hybrid varieties of antique roses. The New Old as he has been known to call it. But he has specimens of the originals. These opened like this are those that gather the bees. And smell delicious.

You have no idea how much I want to speak about insects. We really do want to make friends with our enemies. Why is this not being taught in elementary school. Maybe we need to quit waiting on the Rothchilds to give it up and just DO IT!!!! Bring me your gift. I will bring you mine.

I call this my old lady garden because the older U get the more u want to sit and muse in the shade. Rex begonias. When we embrace our rough edges, everything becomes beautiful.
