HELLO!

I’m so glad you’re here! After taking a blogging hiatus, we’re back and currently tackling one house project at a time, starting from the outside! With a new start & a fresh perspective, we’re living the simple life, at home and in the garden.

The power of paint!
***
This past weekend we gave our side patio a quick refresh! Amazing what paint can do! I also shared the original DIY for this space (it’s cedar panels hiding our chain link fence). A simple weekend project that added instant curb appeal! My kind of DIY! To see all the before and afters...I put the story in highlights under “Patio” 🤗

There’s so many new friendly faces around here, I just wanted to pop in and say hello! I’m Michelle, mom and amateur gardener. I like taking pictures and I love being able to share all the things I love with you here! I’m inspired everyday by all of you and I’m grateful for this kind, creative community we’ve got together! So, I hope you’ll stick around and I hope together we will learn, evolve and grow!! 🌱❤️ xo, Michelle

First rose haul right here - from my backyard!!!! Pretty sure my heart is exploding just a bit 🥰 And here’s the thing, if I can grow these...you can too!!! (Planting zone & conditions permitting of course 😉). But seriously one year into the garden life and I’m hooked!

First year with roses and our first year growing a rambling rose 🤗. We loved the look of this ones blooms, fragrance description and minimal thorns, making her the perfect rose to plant on our kit playhouse 🤞🏻. Here’s hoping she grows and grows! “Albrighton Rambler” by @david_austin_roses ***
Recently I’ve gotten lots of DMs about our roses. While I’m no expert we are having a lot of luck so far with our @david_austin_roses - we purchased them bareroot. Good soil is key!!! And roses prefer good drainage! Also when watering, water at the base, rather than on the stems and root. For pest control we find neem oil (natural) works best. And to give them all the nutrients they need for those blooms, we give them (and our other flowers) food once a month in the growing season - my favorite rose food from @ecoscraps . Good Luck 🌱
