How to Protect Annuals from Frost
Hi, everyone! I just finished extending my home's front flower bed. In the bed, I planted some pretty spring and summer annuals. I also spread mulch over the sunny perennial garden flower bed that extends along the southern side of my home. I spent more than 6 hours shoveling and spreading mulch! So you can imagine my dismay when I discovered that in the next few days, my area is expected to have flower-killing frost! I spent at least $30 in my annuals and don't want to see that money go to waste! So to protect my flowers, I am following these tips on how to protect annuals from Continue reading...

It's that time of year! It's time to dig in the dirt and plant some flowers! I've found one great way to instantly add some fun and color to a front porch, back deck or patio is by filling planters with fun flowers and plants.

DIY Garden Flag for St. Patrick’s Day
*This post contains Amazon affiliate links. The snow is piling up here in New Jersey, but I am already dreaming of spring! That's because St. Patrick's Day is a month away, and I know that the daffodils in my garden bloom about then! So today I am sharing the really easy to make St. Patrick's Day DIY garden flag that I made for my home's front yard garden. The flag is really simple to make and is much less expensive than the flags you can purchase in stores.

My Sunny Summer Garden
I just love summer! There are sunny days at the beach, lots of time to spend with my husband and kids, and the beautiful flowers in my perennial garden! The garden is on the sunny southern side of my home, so it really flourishes under the summer sun! What's even better is that my sunny summer garden is just outside my living room's window, so I can enjoy my summer garden even when I am inside! I put in my garden just last summer, and I can't believe how much it has flourished since then! The photo above is of my beautiful black-eyed susans. They have been blooming all summer! I started Continue reading...
Summer Flowers: Black Eyed Susans
I started my sunny perennial garden last summer knowing that while I am not that much of a gardener, I just love flowers! Luckily, I planted pretty foolproof flowers like lilies, phlox and black eyed susans (Rudbeckia hirta). So this summer, I am the lucky owner of a beautiful flower garden! The best bloomers in my garden are my black-eyed susans. I planted them last summer -- they came from a free packet of seeds I got from Burt's Bees. I had no idea what would bloom from those seeds, but just crossed my fingers and planted them! Last summer they just looked like weeds with no blooms, but Continue reading...
