We have had more storms here in central Oklahoma this past week. It has been such a rainy spring here. I had expected it to feel like summer this week but due to the rain it has been quite cool. Some of my plants have enjoyed all the rain while others are less than pleasedContinue reading “Mourning Cloak”

Eastern tent caterpillar
I have started some more seeds in my 2 hex trays on Saturday. Mostly flowers and a few herbs, fennel and dill. I started some alyssum and alpine strawberries to try to use as a ground cover for my bulb garden. Although I spent time pulling grass and weeds in the fall, they are stillContinue reading “Eastern tent caterpillar”
Sunburn
It has been a beautiful week here in central Oklahoma. It is spring now but it’s already getting very warm. Last Saturday, I went to the farm and got a lot of my spring planting done. We planted over a hundred plants and I honestly lost track of everything. I planted my tomatoes, tomatillos, andContinue reading “Sunburn”
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!”
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?”
