Every time I’m in the garden, I think of my grandparents working their many gardens scattered all over the tiny town they lived in. How they managed it and where they put it all is beyond me. I have fond memories of coming to visit during picking and canning season.

My garden is more hobby than necessity but there is nothing like digging in the dirt, finding hidden treasure, pruning back over growth and being encouraged on by the rhythm of buzzing bees and sing birds on a beautiful day.

Screen doors and memories…

With you just a screen door away.” - Zach Bryan

What is your… “Today, don’t need to, but going to” project?

Thank you, Ed Seymour! “Whose is Ed?,”you ask. The inventor of spray paint in 1949. Old Ed just made my outdoor spring “spruce up” so much easier. All my mismatched and sun bleached pots have a fresh coat of paint and are “company ready.”

Isn’t it funny that we overlook and take for granted the ingenious inventions of others? All their work, attempts and failures don’t even cross our minds. I guess that’s true of so many things. We get complacent, expect convenience and fuss when things become more “involved” than we were hoping for.

Not today Ed. Not today. Thank you!

What do you do when Spring Showers turn severe and you can’t work in or around your flower house project?
#1: You thank God for the rain.
#2: You watch endless YouTube videos to inspire you for the next creative moment!

“Little garden, Little garden… oh, the options are endless,”…when it’s dry again…

When time is precious, every minute counts! Have 10 minutes in between planting the garden and waiting to go into town? Grab some spray paint and update Grandma’s plant table!

By the way, Grandma was apparently the OG of up cycling. This was her sewing machine table she converted into an African Violet plant table, fully equipped with grow lights underneath.
