Nasturtium is one of my all time favorites!! The smell is intoxicating! ☺️
My husband has been begging for hydrangeas for years, but I couldn’t quite work them into our garden.

Well, after relocating about 10 plants, they’re here, and he was right; they were the perfect addition. 😍

A closer look lets you know why these little beauties are called “pincushions flowers”…

A month ago I started “project redbud” & after the successful germination of 20 seeds, this little baby has it’s first “true leaf” today. I can’t wait to watch them all grow into tall, strong, flowering trees!

My trick this year was mulching on top, and regular weekly feeding with banana water (soak 1-2 peels in a little less than a half gallon of water for a day or 2, feed the plant and repeat the following week).
For YEARS now, I’ve been growing peonies for my husband, but could never get them to bloom. This was an issue due to them being in containers, and lacking potassium and nutrients.

Well… I fixed it - BLOOM, I mean BOOM! 😂
