šŸŒø Your plants are telling you they need nutrients before they TELL you the NEEDED them and now itā€™s a lot of work. If you know what to watch for, it can help you remedy the problem before itā€™s too much work.

After a trip away with the fam, this bed is telling me it needs some nutrients NOW, so thatā€™s what weā€™ll do and hopefully make them happy again!

šŸŒ± Shade does not have to be boring!!! That is my mission Iā€™m out to prove for the 2026 growing season because itā€™s one of the biggest comments I get from people when it comes to challenges.

DEEP shade can limit you more, but if you get some morning sun or dappled amounts, it opens a whole window to more possibilities!

This one has become a favorite space for me in the part shade category and could easily be done in a container also.

šŸŒ± Weā€™re just getting started on these. There will be more good ones on the way!!

šŸŒø When I say pay attention to your plants and theyā€™ll tell you what they need, it only works if you know what to look for! On the watering front, here is how you can tell your plant is on the verge of a fit if you donā€™t give it water soon without even looking at the soil.

šŸŒø This is such a fun planter for you texture lovers out there!

When I stopped the video, I promptly found a diamond snow euphorbia for MORE texture. Hopefully we have time for it to fill out and look even better!

Sunday Confessionā€¦

Iā€™m always chasing the next goalpost.

Hit oneā€¦ move it.
Reach itā€¦ raise it.

And somewhere in that rhythm, I forget to stop and realizeā€¦.

This moment?
This used to be the prayer.

The thing I asked God for.
Trusted Him for.
Hoped would come ā€œsomeday.ā€

And now Iā€™m hereā€¦
already looking past it.

Do you do that too?

I wonder how many moments Iā€™ve rushed throughā€”
moments that were actually answers.
Little reminders of His faithfulness.
Proof that Heā€™s been working all along.

So this is me slowing down.

Taking a breath.
Looking back.

Because I found some old photos and videosā€¦ and I just sat there for a minute.

And thoughtā€”
wowā€¦ God really brought me here.

Not overnight.
Not perfectly.
But step by stepā€¦ He made a way.

So if you feel like youā€™ve been in the middle of something for a long time

Pause.

Look again.

You might be standing in a prayer God already answered.

šŸŒø Trim time! You absolutely donā€™t to have to trim. In our large planters at the office I only trim when they are too long and several I donā€™t trim at all.

With these deck rails, they need to fit in the space for a couple more months, so this is the perfect time in the season for a little snip, and hereā€™s how easy it isā€¦..and a few tips on how she cares for these deck rail planters and keeps them BEAUTIFUL!

Weā€™ll check back on these in a couple weeks!

I promise to keep these shorter in the future. Todayā€™s just hit a little different for meā€¦.so Iā€™m sharingā€¦.because maybe Iā€™m not the only one in a swirl of relying on myself instead of exercising a little surrender and trust.

Happy Wednesday!

šŸŒø Remember when youā€™re rooting a plant as a cutting, itā€™s going to take time for that plant to grow. Thereā€™s a lot of energy and work going on. Itā€™s just all under the soil, develop that root system to support the plant. Weā€™ll check in in another few weeks and see how they are progressing!

šŸŒ±Sun to shade can be deceiving on the tag of a plant. Just because it will live there doesnā€™t mean the performance will be the same. The size and color of the plant could be completely different depending on where they are.

Coleus is a plant that has many varieties reading sun to shade on their tags. Letā€™s break down my favorite variety and how it performs differently depending on the light situation itā€™s in!
