I will definitely bring my bird feeder when we officially make the move!

This week I’ve invited my husband to be my guest blogger and share his recent exploration into Bee Keeping. So, without further introductions I give you our future Bee master!

Spring is finally here, although in Colorado we still get quite a bit of snow in Spring. That fact aside, the days are slowly getting longer, the weather a bit warmer, a little more often and Spring fever is in full swing!

As a follow up to my post on Winter gardening, Andy and I did the first of our spring planting today! We experimented with new planting trays and recycled trays.

As we finish up January and move into February, I feel the call of the garden.

They say third time’s a charm, and I’m hoping this will be true when it comes to my endeavors at trying to plant and grow spring bulbs in pots!

What to do when you need a compost bin for your urban garden oasis!

Taking inspiration from Floret Farm owner, and author Erin Benzakein, this fall I decided to try and harvest my own Zinnia seeds!

Fingers crossed I will have health, nutrient rich soil for next spring so my gardening experiments and continue!

Although I’ve been gardening for years, I still consider myself a novice picking up gardening tips from family, books, television, podcasts, magazines, you name it. I’m a sponge when it comes to research and gathering useful information about the garden.

Surprised to learn that loofahs were gords, I had to try and grow my own! As I continue to try and get my small online boutique off the ground, I’m always thinking about and looking for interesting products to include in my store that relate to how one lives a joyous and balanced life.

Limited space won’t stop me from seeing through my greenhouse dreams!

My Fig trees are one of the many things in our urban setting that bring me balance and great joy every day.

Espalier is a method of training and pruning a tree or shrub, dating back to the Middle Ages, that forces it to grow flat against a wall or a free-standing trellis to encourage substantial fruit production.
