Happy Monday, I hope you a good weekend! Mine was productive, finishing up a fun project for the garden, Blooming Door Knob Hose Guards! I’ve been looking for hose guards to add to the garden beds and along the paths around the Potting Shed. All the hose guards I’ve found have been either too pricey or…
I love all things *bee* and love seeing them buzz and bumble about the garden. . . I cut some flowers and bee favorites to fill some Quattro Stagioni Canning Jars. The jars have an adorable bee skep design which is hard to photograph, but ideal for a just-picked bouquet from the garden! They’re filled flowers…

The original recipe is from Southern Living. I posted the recipe as…
Morning Glory has arrived around the Potting Shed. By the end of summer, the wild vines and volunteers are rambling and climbing everywhere. I placed a bottle tree by a patch of Morning Glory that was springing up, giving it a place to climb. (Read–> if you can’t get rid of it, celebrate it ;)…

I seem to be spending all my free time this spring, planting, puttering and pulling weeds around the Potting Shed! I usually spend a couple of hours there each morning, and then again in the early evening, checking on how things are growing, while weeding and watering, and watching the bees buzz and the hummers zip around.…
