Another week of caring for the baby seedlings. My boyfriend and I are both working a lot now and we share a car. So, I still have not gotten to visit my garden at the farm this week. We have made a plan to go on April 12th. Hopefully I can keep these plants aliveContinue reading “The chickweed jungle and the clover forest”

Seedlings and new art supplies
I didn’t go to the farm this week due to a very busy schedule. The weather has been beautiful here in central Oklahoma and I am dying to get back to the garden. The redbud trees are blooming this week in my town and they are gorgeous. I have been spending a lot of timeContinue reading “Seedlings and new art supplies”
New roses, old roses, and stolen roses
Last week was my birthday and my boyfriend gave me a few gifts. He bought me the Dubai chocolate I had been wanting to try. It was so delicious and creamy. He also bought me some Italian food including my favorite, tiramisu. It was also delicious and creamy. He also gave me two new roseContinue reading “New roses, old roses, and stolen roses”
Thinning out
This week, I surprisingly didn’t plant anything. Instead, I have been taking care of my little seedlings. They had gotten some white fuzzy fungus on the surface of the soil. I learned that it is called damping off. I have tried a few natural solutions that were recommended to me. I tried sprinkling cinnamon aroundContinue reading “Thinning out”
Seedlings
This week has been busy and the weather has improved a lot in central Oklahoma. I fell last week on the ice and fractured my wrist. So I am in a brace for a few weeks. This won’t stop me from working in the garden. On 2/22, I planted Parsley, Lemon balm, Catnip, Borage, Helichrysum,Continue reading “Seedlings”
Almost spring 🌱
It has been a very cold week with some snow here in central Oklahoma. I had a tasty dinner for Valentine’s Day. The brownies turned out great. I also made some blueberry 🫐 muffins for National Muffin Day. They were delicious but didn’t rise much on top. I used a recipe from the WinCo frozenContinue reading “Almost spring 🌱”
Return of the snow birds!
I call them snow birds but actually they are dark eyed junco birds. I find them adorable and like to take photos of them. I am from Texas originally and I never saw the snow birds there. However, since moving to Oklahoma, I often see them when the weather is snowy or icy. This weekContinue reading “Return of the snow birds!”
Hellebores and pansies
This week, I went to a few nurseries near my town to buy some plants. I got wild ginger, pansies, Angelina sedum, purple poppy mallow, and Ice n Roses Hellebore. I have already taken the pansies to the land and planted them. They were root bound so I tried to divide them up into twoContinue reading “Hellebores and pansies”
The end of winter
Winter is almost over here in Oklahoma, I think. No freezing in the next 10 day forecast anyhow and temperatures in the 70s next week already. Guess we’ll see what the groundhog has to say about it, but I say hurry up, Spring. I planted some more seeds on Sunday and will continue to plantContinue reading “The end of winter”
Invasive or native?
This week, I am continuing to prepare for the spring garden. It has been a cold week here in central Oklahoma and I managed to do some more planting on Saturday. By this I mean that I directly sowed the seeds in the ground without any protection. We have a lot of space outside, butContinue reading “Invasive or native?”
