Had a visit from the H***y Toad homie today! This is my spirit animal they are beautiful, move slowly, fully-armored but friendly and will spit blood out of their eyes if needed.

Its chilly in May? I think this is the first time Ive ever touched a sweater after March. The winds were insane and had a little bite to them too after a long soft rain that seemed to last the entire night.

This is the time to plant those seeds yo!

This weather is so sweet.

It rained all night and I am so happy because I have zero time to water! My rain tanks are half full and my heart is totally FULL!

The artichokes are blooming and this is my favorite time of year in the gardens! These are about 12 inches across and NEON purple. I love them!

Did you know that artichokes are perennial in the desert? Mine range from 2 to 4 years old. I have been told they live up to 9 years but havent gotten there yet!

Grow some Chokes yo!

Its a fun game. Participants each take home a pack, grow out their crops and identify them as they grow! People can use plant ID apps or social media groups and it'll be fun and interactive!

Growing plants from seed is the best way to learn all things gardening and I think this is going to be a game full of surprises!

I think I am going to get oranges soon! But since this tree was grown from a seed by my suegra I have no idea what they will be like?

I woke up at 4am and couldnt get back to sleep so I just planted seeds until 7am! It was a dreamy way to start the day and now im ready for a nap!

My friend came over the other day amd asked how I had so many flowers and I explained that I literally plant seeds every single day. It may be the only thing im consistent about but its part of my morning ritual to go have my tea in the garden and take a pack of seeds with me. I will not be planting much after this month, I usually stop in May and start again when we get rains, which lately has been late July or even August.

Sow some seeds at least once a week and you'll be amazed at what pops up!

Right now my garden is the most beautiful it has ever been and Im going to take yall on a virtual video spring tour very soon! Its just beautiful!

What are you planting now?

Borage (Borago officinalis) is a realy special medicinal herb that can be eaten from stem to flower. Borage touts an insane lineup of health benefits. From being anti inflammatory and good for your skin to lowering bad cholesterol. The gamma-linolenic acid (GLA) component is also widely used to alleviate symptoms of arthritis and PMS.

Ive been trying to grow borage for a while and this was my first time being super successful.

The plant is beautiful and the flowers make amazing garnishes for drinks and deserts. Uts a cold weather crops so you'll have to wait until.jext season tk grow it but get some seeds so you'll have them ready to plant. You won't ever stop growing it!

Coreopsis are perennial wildflowers that grow 1-2 ft tall and I planted them in a small stock tank which they have completely taken over. They're so pretty and this is my first time growing them so I don't have seeds yet but I am going to have a ton of seeds to harvest and share!
