It’s not too late to plant a garden this year! 🍅

Prices for those red orbs have soared more than any other food product over the past year.

I was sent this gorgeous sample from the company we get our enclosed terrariums from. 😍 Gorgeous little violets that should bloom much more consistently than orchids.

What do you all think?! Do we need to make another order?

It’s time to put out all the beauties that have been hiding in the indoor greenhouse. These had been buried and just now noticing all the gorgeous new leaves. 😍

A lot of you all have been asking about Jewel Orchids. 😍

This is pretty far from a perfect example—since she got totally neglected multiple times this winter. Including once for 2 whole months. No not recommend! Luckily, she was living in an indoor greenhouse and pretty mature at nearly 3 years old. I did just pulled 50ish dead leaves off her though. She could be much prettier if not for my neglect!

Jewel Orchids are so fun and funky. I currently have three different varieties. You water these ones when topsoil dry, and they are one of the few things I will keep in a self watering planter or constantly damp moss. They don’t have to have the extra humidity, but they do love it.

🪴Bioengineered to be healthier tomatoes🪴

You all know I grow some patented ones that I cannot sell… but, I can GIFT them!

If anyone wants any of my extras—I’ll give gifts to say thank you for donating to NEADS Service Dogs. 🦮

$5 donation and I’ll give you an open pollinated plant from what we had last year. $10 donation and I’ll give you one of this years seedlings.

I’ll put donation link in the comments.

If you have picked up any bioluminescent petunias—fertilizing with a good petunia fertilizer every 1-2 weeks is a MUST.

In years past, I used a petunia specific fertilizer I ordered from Amazon. (Link in the comments!) I have been browsing others and looking at the different mineral makeups, not just NPK. I may do a trial experiment this year and see which fertilizer seems to do better.

I don’t just take nursery pots to reuse—I take them all! Old pots, with or without drainage, etc.

These are tiny little ones without drainage. Some would think they are nearly useless! But I have the PERFECT use for them.
