What We Are Planting

Gardening season is upon us here in Tennessee (if you happen to live in a place that is still cold, we're sorry!), with highs already hitting the low 80's F. Over the last three weeks we have been busy prepping our flower beds and raised beds for plants and getting our seedlings started. We buy some at the store ready to go in the ground but we like to start a good chunk ourselves, this helps to keep the cost down and we know exactly what the plants have been exposed to. It also gives us a wider variety of plants to grow, instead of having to go with whatever the local stores have.


This year we are experimenting with some new varieties and we challenged ourselves to grow most of our flowers from seeds (we did buy some plants for $1-3 on clearance but we want to grow everything else ourselves).
