It’s hard to admit one can’t get it all done on our own so I bit the bullet and by hiring help my buildings and greenhouse are clean, the grounds is shaping up and most of the vegetables garden is planted.
I’m not planting as many pots to care for, as I’ve decided less is more and I will do better, care wise, with what I have. Warm weather, where are you?

This is a good point! I’ve had this issue at times as well!

It can be so hard to reconcile some of the amazing inspo gardens with what’s practical/possible.

I’m glad you had such a good experience! How exciting to get to see everything emerging this time of year.

YES. It can be hard to do, but it’s so freeing. I hope all goes well with gardening your dedicated area this year!

Easy DIY with amazing results. I power-washed all the concrete surrounding our pool and the walkway to our front door, and the results were incredible – the concrete had large patches of black that went back to gray, and overall it just looked brighter/lighter. That process is also oddly delightful – get some closed-toe shoes, music, and start spraying away the dinge! #powerwashingporn is a thing

There is such a steep learning curve and I love the idea of gardening and planning for the person I am now versus the person I hope to be in 10 years! That is so freeing. I had grand plans for my garden that I know will overwhelm me and stress me out all summer so I’m just going to pick one area and one focus this year and hopefully that will be established. Thanks Kate!

They are based in Northeast and are an extremely talented crew, I highly recommend checking them out.

I love the color of the sunflowers I already have some started and the Miracles all the way around the front I have them started already in my foyer I just love planning the flowers I think they’re beautiful to look at enjoy

Even better, choose colorful flowers that attract pollinators. Just Google it. They need all the help we can give them!

Best decision! For some reason, I couldn’t grasp what I was trying to do- it seemed like I was spinning my wheels. Now, I have a list to tackle myself as well as bigger plantings for our landscaping crew and some additional hard scape we will implement. We tackled a bunch last year, and I feel better than ever as everything is emerging now. Can’t wait to follow along on your journey. Hiring someone was well worth your investment!

I want to be more involved in it (weeding is shockingly therapeutic!) and spend more time making smart choices. Adding in more colour and vibrancy is high on my list, but I want to do it the right way so that the colour works and will thrive year after year.
